The Ford F-150 Lightning is one of the most talked-about electric pickup trucks right now, but how far does it go on a single charge? Ford's F-series pickup trucks are wildly popular in the U.S market, and the F-150 is the best-selling model in the company's lineup.

The truck began mass production in April this year, and Ford claims to have already received more than 200,000 reservations.

That includes the Chevy Silverado EV, the Hummer EV, the RAM 1500 EV and the Rivian R1T EV, among others. Then there's the Tesla Cybertruck, which was unveiled back in 2019 but is only expected to enter production next year.
