Ford Pulls the Plug on the F-150 Lightning — What Went Wrong With America’s Electric Truck?
Ford’s bold bet on electric trucks just took a sharp turn.
In this episode, we break down Ford’s decision to cancel the all-electric F-150 Lightning, once seen as the future of America’s best-selling pickup. What caused the reversal? Slowing demand, massive EV losses, shifting government incentives, and the harsh realities of building electric full-size trucks.
We explore:
Why Ford ended production of the F-150 Lightning
The billions Ford has lost on EV investments
How changing U.S. policy impacted EV adoption
Ford’s pivot toward hybrids and extended-range electric trucks
What this means for current Lightning owners and future truck buyers
Is this a setback for electric trucks — or a necessary course correction?
If you follow EV news, the future of pickups, or the business of automakers, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
