Will Ford Lightning get longer range?
Leveraging advanced Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology, the next-generation F-150 Lightning will offer the best of both worlds: the seamless, instant power of an electric powertrain and the freedom of a generator-backed estimated range of more than 700 miles. Using Level 2 Alternating Current (AC) charging: The 2024 F-150 Lightning Standard Range (98 kWh battery) can charge from 0-100% in about 11. The 2024 F-150 Lightning Extended Range (131 kWh battery) can charge from 0-100% in about 14.The F-150 Lightning Pro brings power where it counts. The available extended-range battery offers an EPA-estimated range of 515 kilometers. Dual onboard chargers on the available extended-range battery and available 80 amp Ford Charge Station Pro allow overnight AC charging to start the day at a full charge.Our next-generation F-150 Lightning EREV will be every bit as revolutionary. It delivers everything Lightning customers love — near instantaneous torque and pure electric driving. But with a high-power generator enabling an estimated range of 700+ miles, it tows like a locomotive.F-150 lightning vs cybertruck power, range, & charging both trucks have similar acceleration, reaching 60 mph in 4 seconds and over 330 miles in range. Charging is a strong advantage of the cybertruck.The F-150 Lightning Pro brings power where it counts. The available extended-range battery offers an EPA-estimated range of 515 kilometers. Dual onboard chargers on the available extended-range battery and available 80 amp Ford Charge Station Pro allow overnight AC charging to start the day at a full charge.
Why did F-150 Lightning fail?
Ford aggressively ramped up production capacity to meet the demand that it expected out of the Lightning. That was an expensive, complicated process. Eventually, the consumer demand just kind of fizzled until production of the current-gen truck ended in December 2025 (just three years after it first began). Ford stops production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning, turns to hybrids Ford says it is following the customer in discontinuing its large electric pickup, which was well-received but never profitable. Ford will keep the Lightning name alive as a plug-in hybrid.We estimate that the upcoming Ford F-150 Lightning EREV will be a 2027 model year. As a 2027 model, the F-150 Lightning EREV could go on sale before the end of 2026 or in early 2027. More information on the electrified pickup truck should become available within the next year.
