The popularity of Ford’s F-150 Lightning is a sign that battery-electric vehicles are gaining steam with mass-market automakers. Unfortunately for some, the Lightning might have gained too much steam; Ford wasn’t able to keep up with early demand, and that led to Ford shutting down new orders in April. Now the automaker says it’s reopening the Ford F-150 Lightning order lines this week, and the new truck will have slightly more range. This is mostly good news, but there’s a catch: The electric truck comes with a price adjustment. The new base price when orders reopen will be $48,769. That means the most affordable Pro model sees a $7,000 jump from the former $41,769 base price. Read original article here.
