PG&E will explore how the F-150 Lightning and its hardware could interconnect with the grid, and how bidirectional charging might support resiliency during grid outages.

Ford's plan to develop and sell EVs under a different business unit won't mean direct sales—but it could change the role of dealers.

The very quick torque delivery of the Lightning's dual-motor system can be an asset for winter-weather stability, Ford demonstrates.

Ford says that the move will help accelerate the development and scaling of EVs and connected vehicles, while “leveraging its iconic nameplates.”

CEO Jim Farley has considering walling off the company's EV operations from its internal-combustion business, to help shift to EVs faster and shed costs.

A brief ride along in Ford’s forthcoming electric pickup truck suggests it could be the best F-150 yet.

The next generation of Ford’s commercial vans runs on electricity and telematics.

With hardware offered through Ford and installed by SunRun, the F-150 Lightning will be able to power the home when the grid goes down.

Range and efficiency numbers for the F-150 Lightning are looking close to those of the Rivian R1T—but the Lightning is larger.

The boost in range appears linked to a rise in usable capacity of its battery packs; over-the-air updates could open up more range in the near future.

The successor to the F-150 Lightning due later in the decade could be set for the sales volumes gasoline F-150 models occupy now, Ford's CEO hinted.

The Lightning's front trunk is more than a gimmick; it can carry 400 pounds, support a tailgate party, and serve as a work surface.

A cooling method being explored by Ford and Purdue University is considering using coolant phase changes instead of just circulating liquid; that could introduce packaging advantages and make the system more efficient.

With an augmented-reality experience, Ford aims to get F-150 Lightning electric pickup customers ready by showing them around features, from home charging to the frunk.

Ford anticipates it won't be building as many of its 42-mpg pickups as shoppers want.

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT offers a significant boost in power and acceleration over the standard Mach-E, but does so without sacrificing any of the Mach-E's 270 miles of estimated range.

Ford has made a strategic partnership that could prove important in addressing future raw-materials shortages and in making more sustainable components.

Ford is exploring fleet use of its electric vehicles, such as the Mustang Mach-E, in law enforcement.

From the Tesla Cybertruck to the Ford F-150 Lightning, potential buyers are lining up to make reservations, well beyond what automakers expected.

Hardware changes for future model years plus over-the-air updates could help the Mach-E boost its range to the Tesla Model Y territory.
