    Looks like they are copying the RAM strategy and slapping a generator onto it to boost range. Still a fully electric drivetrain, no idea on overall reliability with that mix of components. https://newatlas.com/automotive/ford-electric-f150-lightning-pickup-truck-range-extender-erev-2026/

      Weird… did they also downsize the battery?

        The projected “battery only” range seems the same, so maybe not? It’s all just dreams on paper at this point, we’ll have to see what actually makes it to market.

        It makes no sense to use large battery packs to mostly store evergy to carry the large battery packs. Only the Detroit could figure out how to make EVs less efficient.

      The Chevy Volt was the most reliable car GM ever built.

      Well, the Lightning is pretty useless if you need to tow something further than next door.
