Ford to Revive F-150 Lightning as Extended-Range EV with Gas Generator
F sits 31% above its 52-week low of $11.11.
Summary
Ford is resurrecting its canceled F-150 Lightning as an extended-range EV (EREV), a fully electric truck with a gas-powered generator to recharge the battery. This follows the company's December 2025 cancellation of the money-losing Lightning and comes amid a broader industry pivot toward EREVs, with Hyundai and Stellantis also planning similar vehicles. The move addresses key consumer concerns about EV range and towing capability, which hurt sales of the original Lightning. Ford's Q2 2026 results showed a net loss but raised full-year adjusted EBIT guidance, and this product shift could improve the profitability of its electric truck lineup. Watch for further details on timing and pricing, as EREVs are expected to cost more than comparable gas vehicles.
