17 September 2020, 12:36:49

Today, Ford has confirmed the construction of the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center where it will build the all-electric F-150 by mid-2022. The electric F-150, which is undergoing tens of thousands of hours of torture testing and targeting millions of simulated, laboratory, and real-world test miles, will be more powerful than any F-150 available today and deliver commercial and personal customers the lowest expected lifetime total cost of operation among F-Series trucks. Additionally:

Ford will debut new technology on the electric F-150 that allows mobile power generation so customers can use their trucks as a power source for places from campsites to job sites when needed
The all-electric F-150 will feature dual electric motors targeted to deliver more horsepower and torque than any F-150 available today, the fastest acceleration, and the ability to tow heavy trailers
Electric vehicles including the electric F-150 require significantly less maintenance than a typical gasoline engine, creating more than 40 percent savings for its lifetime total cost of operation
A giant front trunk on the electric F-150 adds even more cargo-carrying versatility and security to help protect and move valuable items
Like the rest of the all-new F-150 lineup, the electric F-150 will continuously improve over time with fast over-the-air updates
