Ford says its planning to double production of its upcoming electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning, to 150,000 vehicles per year by 2023. The news comes as the automaker prepares to start making and shipping its new EV in the first half of 2022. Production of both the F-150 Lightning and F-150 Lightning Pro for commercial customers has entered its final pre-build stage this week at the company’s Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan. Deliveries of the first trucks are expected to start in the spring. Continue Reading @ TheVerge.com

The F-150 Lightning can charge Lightning, Mach-E and E-Transit EVs, as well as EVs from other brands with a SAE J1772 charge port. The all-electric 2022 F-150 Lightning has the ability to “share” its range with other EVs, Ford has revealed. Sharing this feature with the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid, the F-150 Lightning can charge electric vehicles from both Ford—Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit, and F-150 Lightning—and other manufacturers. The available vehicle-to-vehicle charging feature enables owners to charge a friend’s vehicle during an outage or top off an EV battery for a neighbor. The F-150 Lightning makes vehicle-to-vehicle charging possible thanks to its onboard generator and high-capacity battery systems, as well as the...

I just received an email from Ford about the orders opening soon. This is the first time I actually got something official from Ford. Looking like it's going to happen in January. Here are a couple screen shots.

Ford has revealed a few more details about its updated projection to achieve electric vehicle production of 600,000 units annually within 24 months (by the end of 2023). As we understand, it does not mean 600,000 BEV produced globally in 2023, but that the rate, at least in December 2023, will be at 50,000 BEVs per month. Ford's CEO Jim Farley said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Markets and Finance that the company's business is improving in terms of parts supply and profitability. Check out the interview with Jim Farley below:

Ford Motor Co., for years a bit of a laggard in the race to electric vehicles, has taken a counterintuitive approach to EV sales: pumping the brakes. A few days ago, Ford stopped taking reservations for its F-150 Lightning pickup, an all-electric rig due out this spring. Some 200,000 electric trucks are spoken for from a factory planning to stamp out just 80,000 machines a year. Likewise, Ford has closed the order book on the hybrid version of its new Maverick, a small pickup that gets 42 miles per gallon. Meanwhile, on Friday, Ford CEO Jim Farley took to Twitter to say his charge would triple production capacity for its other runaway EV, the Mustang Mach-E. The company plans to be making 200,000 of the battery-powered ponies a year...
