Ford decided to stop F-150 Lightning production after one of the trucks experienced a battery fire on February 4. The information has been confirmed by a Ford spokesperson, who also said the production would not resume earlier than February 23.
Ford F-150 Lightning is one of the few electric pickup trucks on the market today. If we don’t count the 854 units of the GMC Hummer EV produced in 2022, the Lightning and the Rivian R1T are the most common options, with a production of around 15,000 units at Ford and fewer than 10,000 units at Rivian. As you can see, the F-150 Lightning is a pretty popular truck, and as such, it is key to fulfilling Ford’s goal of reaching the 600,000 EVs planned capacity at the end of 2023.
