A year and a half after its first announcement, Ford’s first all-electric pickup truck is finally coming together. Production of the F-150 Lightning officially begins today at Ford’s Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, bringing the classic American automaker’s second EV into the world.
The F-150 Lightning has garnered intense hype since pre-orders opened up last year, with so many orders being placed that Ford actually had to double production to even try meeting demand. Ford originally planned to produce just 40,000 units per year; that estimate has, by now, shot up to 150,000 units per year.
