Over 200,000 orders have been placed for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

Suppose you have been curious about when the electric car revolution will begin. In that case, your wait is over: Ford will close its online reservation system for the planned 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck after receiving over 200,000 deposits. Indeed, demand has been so robust that Ford said on January 4 that it would roughly treble its Lightning truck manufacturing capacity from 80,000 to 150,000 vehicles per year. However, even at that rate, the order pool indicates that the business has already secured enough orders for more than a year's supply of vehicles.

Through the closure of online bookings, Ford will now focus exclusively on turning those reservations into actual orders with dealers and delivering those orders beginning later this year. Additionally, it demonstrates significant demand for electric pickup trucks, an industry area that most analysts said would be the last to adopt electricity as a power source. If Ford's success with the Lightning is any indicator, truck owners throughout the country are prepared to make the conversion to electric cars, implying that the entire market may go in that way much more quickly than previously anticipated.

Buyers welcome Ford's F-150 Lightning Electric Truck.

Given the Ford F-150 Lightning's specifications, it is easy to see why purchasers love it. Almost every significant metric is comparable to or superior to its gasoline counterpart. Simply said, the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck outperforms all other F-150s on the market while being more affordable to purchase and operate in the long term. Consider the Lightning's lower operating expenses due to fuel savings and decreased maintenance requirements, as well as the significant federal and regional incentives presently available to EV customers.

Want an illustration? When equipped with the extended-range battery that most purchasers would opt for, the Lightning accelerates to 60 mph in the mid-four second range, faster than a good deal of gasoline-powered sports cars. In addition, its dual electric motors generate 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. These results easily outperform any gasoline-powered pickup truck in Ford's portfolio, with the added benefit of zero-emissions, quick torque delivery, and the smooth acceleration available only from an electric vehicle.

How about the Ford F-150 Lightning's range? The standard-capacity battery is around 230 miles, which is more than adequate for everyday use if the car is plugged in overnight, as the majority will be. The optional extended-range battery for the Ford F-150 Lightning has an estimated range of 300 miles. Establish a charging station at your residence or place of employment, and you will begin each day with a full tank. Plus, Ford's ChargeStation Pro charger, which comes standard with the extended-range battery, is a powerful 80-amp, 19.2 kW charger that considerably reduces charging times compared to traditional level 2 chargers. In addition, the lithium-ion battery is positioned between the frame rails and covered by a unique exo-structure, which does not detract from cabin volume when off-roading.

With the electrified Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford has made a point of not compromising any capabilities. For example, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck has a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum payload capacity of 2,000 pounds, indicating that it is a genuine work vehicle and not merely a technology showpiece. Additionally, those who use the electric car for work will welcome the massive increase in useable space provided by a giant frunk in the front that replaces the gasoline engine. This frunk provides a waterproof, well-protected storage room for goods or baggage.

Additionally, the electric truck's up to eleven onboard electrical outlets enable the operation of power tools and other electrical equipment straight from the vehicle. Two 120-volt outlets are located in the trunk, two in the cab, four in the bed, and a 240-volt outlet is located in the bed for more complex chores. A clever backup power option even allows you to power your house for up to three days on a fully charged battery during rare power outages.

The Ford F-150 Lightning's design enables additional sophisticated capabilities that elevate it to the status of the market's most advanced electric pickup truck. Available "BlueCruise" technology employs a combination of interior and exterior cameras and radar sensors to enable hands-free driving on divided roads in certain situations. During more extended travels, the vehicle's navigation system has a "power my trip" function that calculates the vehicle's charge level and locates convenient fast charging places. You may use a smartphone as the car key, making it simple to allow access to your truck to extra family members or employees. Additionally, over-the-air software updates automatically download the most recent improvements that enhance existing capabilities and enable new ones.

Ford F-150 Lightning: Unbelievably Affordable, Zero-Emissions

With all of this deliciousness and federal, regional, and municipal incentives that will reduce the Lightning's price to that of a comparable gasoline-powered F-150, it is unsurprising that the Lightning is already a hit, even before the first electric trucks are delivered in mid-2022. It will be fascinating to observe whether Ford decides to boost manufacturing capacity in response to the growing demand for electric trucks and how competitors respond.

At the moment, fewer than 3% of new vehicles sold in the United States are electric, a significant improvement over previous years, but still a tiny portion of the entire market. For 44 years, Ford's F-150 has been America's best-selling truck, so a significant change in demand toward an electric version indicates that the market is interested in becoming emissions-free. One thing is sure: this area is likely to become significantly more fascinating and competitive in the coming months and years, which will benefit truck purchasers worldwide. @via Panorica.
