I never thought the electric F-150 made any sense. It is really expensive, for one. And towing–which is one of the main reasons to own a vehicle like that–really cuts into the range. Just doesn’t seem like a good application for an EV with today’s technology.

I don’t know anyone who wanted an EV F-150. Early adopters bought them but not F-150 buyers.

How many were made? Will they become a collectors item like the Delorian?

Another Edsel!!
