Ford Motor Co. is considering scrapping the Dearborn-assembled all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck in a move that could raise questions about the future of big EV trucks, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal, citing anonymous sources, reported executives haven’t finalized a decision, but are considering canceling the money-losing truck, whose production was stopped last month because of a supply shortage of aluminum. Previously likened by executives to the Model T for how revolutionary the truck was expected to be, the Lightning has missed sales expectations as American buyers remain reluctant to make the switch to the all-electric version of the best-selling pickup.
