Ford announced that it would restart Lightning production starting March 13 at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.

Back when the incident initially occurred, Ford said that it was investigating the issue and believed it had found the root cause. We still don’t know what the root cause was from Ford’s statement today, and when we asked for more details, Ford told us that it won’t be providing any additional details today. As for Ford’s official statement, here's what the company said:

“We will restart production at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center on March 13, allowing time for SK On’s battery cells to be built into battery arrays and packs and be delivered to the Lightning production line. In the weeks ahead, we will continue to apply our learnings and work with SK On’s team to ensure we continue delivering high-quality battery packs – down to the battery cells.
