 Ford adding a generator to their Ford F-150 Lightning Summary Ford is discontinuing their pure EV F-150 Lightning truck. They’re replacing it with a version that has an integrated gasoline generator for extended range, much like a Chevrolet Volt.    Quotes Quote  “It delivers everything Lightning customers love — near instantaneous torque and pure electric driving. But with a high-power generator enabling an estimated range of 700+ miles, it tows like a locomotive. Heavy-duty towing and cross-country travel will be as effortless as the daily commute."   My thoughts Range and price are some of the key things stopping many people from adopting EVs. I’m excited to see how well this gasoline generator concept works in a more modern car. The Chevrolet Volt’s last model year was 2019. I don’t know anyone in the market for a F-150, but I’m hoping ford brings the concept to some of their other vehicles if it works out.   Sources  https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2025/next-gen-f-150-lightning-extended-range-electric-vehicle
