Ford kidding itself with EV's....
Ford took more than 200,000 orders for the Lightning in its first year of production, but they haven’t translated into sales. The company predicted it would produce 150,000 Lightnings a year, but last year sold just 24,165 out of more than 700,000 total F-150 sales. It has since cut production of the Lightning at its Michigan plant from 3200 a week to 1600 and redeployed staff to other parts of the business.The company told investors earlier this year it had lost $US4.7 billion ($7.3 billion) on its electric vehicle business, despite the fact that the Lightning was the number one selling electric pick-up in the country.
