Fully electric cars have been around longer than you may think (1890 if you’re asking) but what about the pickup? Not so long. The first one to enter the market was the Rivian R1T in 2019, which became a hit with both early adopters of EVs and those seeking a capable and versatile truck. 

The American truck scene is electrifying! This lineup showcases the diversity and innovation of the current electric truck market.

The F-150 is a legend in the American truck scene, and the Lightning lives up to that legacy.
