Ford Doubles Production Capacity For Its F-150 Lightning As Reservations Blow Past 150,000
While General Motors is in the midst of EV hell, dealing with a massive recall for its Chevy Bolt and shuttering production as a result of the ongoing semi shortage, Ford looks to be “full speed ahead” with plans for its electric F-150 Lightning.
The company’s CEO, Jim Farley, said on Thursday that it had reached 150,000 reservations for the forthcoming electric pickup. As a result, the company has ramped up hiring and increasing capacity as it starts building prototypes.
