I think this product would have been successful if not for the shitty interference from the dealership model. Paying the MSRP on these was the impossible part.
We have one for our field crew where I work, and unfortunately we have very little charging infrastructure so nobody wants to take it out. The one person who did got stranded with nowhere to charge it. They also get much less mileage from a charge than stated. Good idea, bad execution and timing.
As a truck owner with a non truck needing job i would kill for a plug in hybrid. Give me 50 miles electric and i don’t have to buy gas for my commute. Then i can use gas in the weekend when im doing stuff that requires a truck
Unfortunate. Best truck/car I have ever owned. Doubt I’ll ever go with a gas/hybrid after this, I’ll just have to look at other brands.
Very unfortunate. I would have absolutely bought one except for the shitty dealer markups. And now idiot Republicans pulling EV tax credit…
Thanks Trump
They are pulling the truck, because they are wanting to push an EV Explorer. They pulled production on the Ford Edge this year for that very reason as well.
Used one for work and this thing blew through a battery charge. 35 minute commute and I never got it to 100% charging at home and at work.
Let me save everyone some time
They’re too goddamn expensive.
There goes that $9 billion low interest loan from DOE (a.k.a. tax payers)
An EV fullsize truck is never going to happen with current battery tech and charging infrastructure. Remote work sites are out of the question, you’ll see them for inner city jobs and nothing else.
A PHEV with a high performance electric motor as sole powertrain connection; with a ICE „generator“ and the same size fuel tank as the gas models, should have been the lightning from day 1
Full EV has too many compromises for a truck.
Even BYD’s truck is a PHEV.
Kind of makes you wonder if Elon’s ego will let him pull the plug on the Cyber Truck. I think the F-150 Lightning was the more popular truck.
Fantastic vehicle but all the incentives have been pulled out from under Ford. What a shame
I’d love to buy one for dirt cheap in a few years
That is going to be very painful write off for Ford.
Who’ll want to purchase unsold vehicles stuck in dealsership lot that is orphaned now.
Thanks Hoovie! 😡
Should have been an all electric Maverick under $40,000. I, who ended up with a different EV, would have bought one without much thought.
Good, maybe they can add the extra plug-in hardware to the Maverick.
Wow who could have seen that coming? /s
I’m always amazed that the electric pickup truck didn’t find a place. I get that those who need massive towing, or do long distances won’t work, but what about the other side?
Every major city has a fleet of pickups that rack up a couple hundred km a day, and need space more than weight. With very low costs to maintain and „fill“, I’m amazed they never flew.
I’ll support getting rid of any vehicle that isn’t a small car. I’m so tired of these giant ugly trucks and SUVs on the road
RAM is allegedly coming out with a Diesel-Electric, and that seems like the best of both worlds for trucks.
The drive train is 100% electric and can be charged. But there is a diesel generator to extend range, especially when towing.
So you get your EV, but also emergency/towing range when needed.
But I’m sure it’s going to be $125k
While not a great overall execution, it’s still wasn’t that bad.
It’s not like it was a cybertruck.
Multiple issues here. Infrastructure isn’t being developed fast enough. Electric cars are expensive as fuck. Car companies don’t want to go all in or bend to government policies to push for these types of solutions by a mandated date.
