Electric Vehicles & Hybrids

Ford has ended production of the all‑electric F‑150 Lightning, a decision it attributes to weak demand driven by affordability and profitability challenges. Executive Andrew Frick said consumers want electrification benefits but need affordability — the Lightning was announced at $40,000 but 2025 models started near $55,000 — and Ford cited reliability concerns and sharply reduced towing range even though the Lightning was the best‑selling electric truck in the U.S. last quarter.
