The new Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup seems to have achieved a success that probably not even the American manufacturer expected . The house of the blue oval, in fact, has made it known that it is planning to double the capacity; production of this battery-powered vehicle at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, precisely to meet growing customer demand.

NEED TO ACCELERATE PRODUCTION

More specifically, the manufacturer intends to have a capacity; production of 150,000 electric pickups per year . Currently, there have been nearly 200,000 pre-orders for the new Ford F-150 Lightning. Starting Thursday, the holders of reservations will be able to start converting them into actual orders. While not all pre-orders will turn into orders, for Ford it will be; of a remarkable result.

Is not serious; the first time that the manufacturer announces that it wants to increase the capacity; production of his electric pickup. Following an earlier increase in pickup construction plans, the American brand aimed to build 15,000 F-150 Lightning in 2022, 55,000 in 2023 and 80,000 in 2024. However, privately, to suppliers, Ford had made it known that it wanted to reach the production of 80,000 cars already; in 2023.

Numbers that, however, at the time had made us doubt that the house of the blue oval was really able to satisfy the reservations that continued to accumulate. The American brand must finally have realized that it has to give an important acceleration to the production of its electric pickup.


This interesting news comes while Ford is completing the pre-production phase of its electric pickups. The actual production will start; from spring. The first deliveries will begin shortly after. Remember, that the battery pickup is; also available in the Pro version for the world of work. Prices for the new Ford F-150 Lightning start at $ 39,974.

The success of the new Ford F-150 Lightning & egrave; further confirmation that in America battery pickups are gaining great interest from people. Once on the market, it will have to; compare with models of the caliber of the Rivian R1T.

The F-150 Lightning pickup is not; the only electric model that is achieving great success at Ford. In fact, the manufacturer recently announced that it has tripled production of the Mustang Mach-E with the goal of building 200,000 cars per year by 2023.
