Ford discontinues the F-150 Lightning, and I'm both disappointed and not surprised

2025 Ford F-150 Lightning test drive.

One of the most shocking announcements just happened: the F-150 Lightning is being discontinued. Not only is it one of my favorite EVs, but it was actually the first all-electric vehicle I drove — I credit it for jump-starting my interest in the best electric cars around.

I’m disappointed because the end of the F-150 Lightning leaves a big hole to fill in the full-sized pickup truck segment. But Ford’s not throwing in the towel just yet because the company plans to release an F-150 Lightning EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) that supposedly will get 700 miles of range.
