Ford juices production of Lightning F-150 electric truck to meet demand

DEARBORN, Mich. :Ford Motor Co on Tuesday started regular manufacturing of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck, the most prominent emblem of the 119-year-old company's drive to retool for a new century.

With a dig at competitors from Tesla to General Motors Co, Chief Executive Jim Farley said the Lightning will cost"thousands of dollars less than our competitors' trucks - whenever they go on sale." Ford will ultimately build Lightning trucks at an electric vehicle production complex in Tennessee that will open in 2025 and will be much larger than the extension of its Rouge facility.

Chevrolet will launch a version of the electric Silverado for commercial and work customers in the spring of 2023 followed by consumer models in the fall.
