Ford increases F-150 Lightning production target to 150k

 You can't get more conservative than pick-up truck buyers.  And this news about Ford beaut all-electric pick-up, the F-150 Lightning, is yet another indication of how EVs are going mainstream.

From CleanTechnica


Ford seems to be more and more aware that the future is electric, and much of that seems to be coming from consumer demand. This has got to be one of the most uplifting cleantech stories of recent months here in the USA.

A few short months ago, Ford increased its annual production target for the F-150 Lightning electric pickup from 40,000 to 80,000. That still seemed a bit meager for what should be one of the best electric pickup trucks on the market, and it was. Ford CEO Jim Farley tweeted today that the strong customer demand for the F-150 Lightning had inspired them to up the target significantly yet again, this time to 150,000 sales a year!
