Ford announced today that two months after delivering the first F-150 Lightning in America, it has now delivered its electric pickup truck to at least one customer in all 50 states, from Alaska to Florida, to Hawaii and everywhere in between.
As you might expect, though, Texas, America’s biggest truck market, and California, the state where the most EVs are sold in the country, were the leaders in terms of sales.
According to the automaker, nearly 80 percent of reservation holders for the F-150 Lightning that it surveyed said that the truck will be their first EV. That means that Ford is winning over new customers to the electric vehicle market.

Ford delivered its first F-150 Lightning to Nicholas Schmidt of Standish, Michigan on Thursday, May 26. That delivery was made to an EV fan, albeit one who lives in a town with just 1,500 residents.
In its extended range guise, the F-150 Lightning comes with a 131 kWh battery pack that can deliver up to 320 miles (515 km) of range, according to the EPA. The standard model, meanwhile, gets a 98 kWh battery that can deliver up to 230 miles (370 km) of range.
Offered with twin motors, the truck can also produce up to 563 hp (420 kW/571 PS) and 775 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque, which is enough to get off the line and up to 60 mph (96 km/h) in the mid-four-second range. More to the point, that allows it to tow up to 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) and haul up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
Although Ford has now delivered F-150 Lightnings in all 50 states, it needs to hustle when it comes to production, because before it had even delivered a single model, it had taken 200,000 reservations for the electric truck and stopped offering 2022 model year vehicles as it was unable to keep up with demand.
