Ford Introduces the All-Electric F-150 Lightning Flash With Extended Range

Ford has introduced the all-electric F-150 Lightning Flash. The new model expands on the XLT model line by adding in-demand tech capabilities, including an extended-range battery, which has a targeted EPA-estimated range of 320 miles.

It features Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving.

The F-150 Lightning Flash comes with version 1.2, which includes Lane Change Assist, allowing the driver to change lanes hands-free by tapping the turn signal once the path is clear, and In-Lane Repositioning to help to keep the vehicle in its lane while subtly shifting position away from vehicles in adjacent lanes. 

It also offers a standard 15.5-inch touchscreen for seamless interactions and navigation.

F-150 Lightning drivers can access the BlueOval Charge Network, North America’s largest public charging network with over 84,000 chargers.

Starting in 2024, F-150 Lightning drivers also will have access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers.

Marin Gjaja, Chief Operating Officer at Ford Model e, says: “The F-150 Lightning Flash is a direct outcome of engaging with and learning from our customers. This truck combines many of the technology-forward features our customers love in our EV lineup, at a more accessible price. With an EPA-estimated 320 miles of range, the Lighting Flash is another example of the speed at which we are adapting to grow our EV business.” 

Ford employs about 177,000 people worldwide.
