The unveiling of Ford’s electric pick-up truck, the F-150 Lightning, in Australia has sparked excitement and scepticism among tradies and car enthusiasts alike.
With its classic American design reminiscent of the brand’s iconic gas-guzzling “yank tanks,” the Lightning is hoped to become the Australian tradie’s next best mate.

I love this: 

"Despite the sticker shock, AusEV suggests that customers consider the electric ute’s comparatively low running costs.

Hopefully good weather
