Ford electric F-150 Lightning Pro truck to start at $39,974

Ford Motor said on Monday its new electric F-150 Lightning Pro for commercial customers would be available at a starting price of $39,974.

Registrations have opened and the F-Series truck will arrive by 2022.

Branded the F-150 Lightning, the pickup can travel up to 300 miles per battery charge, much due to a frame designed to safely hold a huge lithium-ion battery that can power your house should the electricity go out. Going from zero to 60 mph (97 kilometers per hour) will take only 4.5 seconds.

“It’s a watershed moment to me,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said of the electric truck, which was formally unveiled Wednesday night.

“It’s a very important transition for our industry,” he added.
