The Next Ford F-150 Lightning Will Get A Gas Engine
Ford has announced that the next generation of its F-150 Lightning will be an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) with a gas engine to charge the battery, aiming to offer over 700 miles of range. This change addresses the previous model's high price and limited range issues. The new EREV Lightning will primarily operate as an EV but will include a gas engine to provide range confidence and enhanced long-distance towing performance.
I see this as an upgrade versus a failure of the Lightning. The only thing I was concerned about when going from a gas F150 to my Lightning was the range. This would be the best of both worlds!
