The F-150 Lightning Has Been Discontinued — Here's What to Get Instead
Ford stopped building the all-electric F-150 Lightning in early 2026. If you were considering one, two real options are available at Bowen Scarff Ford right now: the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid and the all-new, all-electric Ford Fathom.
What Happened to the F-150 Lightning?
Ford officially confirmed the end of the all-electric F-150 Lightning on December 15, 2025, taking a multibillion-dollar charge on its EV programs as part of a broader pivot. By early 2026, the Lightning was no longer factory-orderable — dealer stock nationally is very limited, and we do not currently have used or remaining-stock units to offer. Ford's stated reason centered on real-world feedback: towing range dropped sharply on a pure-electric platform, and the cost of a large battery pack kept pricing high. Ford's answer is twofold — a hybrid that solves the range problem today, and a smaller, more affordable EV for buyers who want to go fully electric.
Your Two Best Options Right Now
Both are available to order or take home today — no discontinued waitlist.

Looking Further Ahead: The Lightning EREV
Ford has confirmed it's building a next-generation F-150 Lightning around extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) technology — the truck drives on electric power alone, while an onboard gas generator recharges the battery on the go, targeting over 700 miles of combined range. Ford has not announced a firm launch date. Outside estimates have ranged anywhere from 2027 to 2029. We'll update this page the moment Ford confirms specifics — for now, the PowerBoost Hybrid and the Fathom are the real options on the lot.
