Ford may pull the plug on the F-150 Lightning.
The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed sources at the company in its report on the electric truck’s possible demise. In some respects, it makes sense. EV demand is much weaker now that President Trump killed the $7,500 EV tax credit. Electric trucks have always been a tough sell, with their big, expensive batteries pushing prices up higher than most consumers are willing to spend. And now Ford is heavily invested in a brand new EV platform, making the F-150 Lightning an awkward fit for the company’s future lineup.
