Ford Shifts Gears: Ends F-150 Lightning Production and Ventures into Battery Storage
December 15, 2025 - 22:01
It looks like battery electric vehicles are out of fashion at the Blue Oval. Ford has announced the cessation of production for its popular F-150 Lightning electric truck, a move that signals a significant shift in the company’s strategy regarding electric vehicles. This decision comes amid growing challenges in the electric vehicle market, including supply chain issues and fluctuating consumer demand.
In a surprising pivot, Ford is redirecting its focus towards a burgeoning battery storage business. This new initiative aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for energy storage solutions, which are becoming crucial as more renewable energy sources are integrated into the grid. By entering this sector, Ford seeks to leverage its expertise in battery technology and manufacturing to provide innovative storage solutions for both residential and commercial applications.
As the automotive landscape evolves, Ford’s strategic realignment reflects broader trends in the industry, prompting questions about the future of electric vehicles and the company’s role in this changing market.
