Over 100,000 Reservations Already for the Ford F-150 Lightning

Granted, it only costs $100 (refundable) to reserve the future all-electric Lightning version of the Ford F-150, and even that small amount is refundable. But still, the company’s announcement today that the total number of reservations has surpassed 100,000 units is a noteworthy milestone.

What's especially impressive is that it happened in about three weeks. The vehicle was introduced on May 19, and order books were only opened then.

These kinds of numbers also explain why Ford is actively considering introducing a second, more-compact electric pickup truck. Rumours have been circulating about this for a few days, especially since the presentation of the new Maverick. With the demand for electric trucks expected to grow over the next few years, you can be sure that Ford is already looking into the possibilities.
