The end of the best-selling electric pickup truck is here: Ford is pulling the plug on the F-150 Lightning by the end of the year. It’s not dead dead, but the next version of the Lightning will be an extended range electric vehicle, known as an EREV. Ford is positioning it as the “next-generation.”
The move comes as a response to the Trump administration’s waning support for electrification and a weakening consumer market.
