Ford ends the battery-only F-150 Lightning and announces a range-extended successor with 700+ miles

Ford Motor Company/F-150 Lightning EREV

Ford said the next-generation F-150 Lightning will be an extended-range electric vehicle: electric motors drive the wheels and a high-power generator supplies extra range, for an estimated 700+ miles. Production of the current battery-only Lightning ends this year, and the new truck will be built at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn. Launch timing and details will come later.

• Estimated range above 700 miles with the generator
• Keeps exportable power for work sites, campsites and homes in outages
• Assembled at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, Dearborn, Michigan
• Doug Field, Ford's chief EV, digital and design officer, said it 'tows like a locomotive'
