The Ford F-150 Lightning: A Game Changer in Electric Trucks
Ford F-150 Lightning Outperforms Tesla Cybertruck in Sales
The Tesla Cybertruck may be grabbing headlines, but the Ford F-150 Lightning is the real winner in terms of sales. With an impressive 24,165 units sold last year, including 11,905 in the fourth quarter alone, the F-150 Lightning is setting the bar high in the electric truck market.
WorkSport Developing Solar Tonneau Cover for F-150 Lightning
WorkSport is taking innovation to the next level by developing a solar cover for the Ford F-150 Lightning. While still in the early planning stages, this solar cover aims to harness solar energy for off-grid use initially. The company plans to optimize the system to potentially charge the truck itself, offering a unique and eco-friendly solution for F-150 Lightning owners.
Enhancing Range and Efficiency
WorkSport believes that the solar tonneau cover could significantly contribute to the vehicle’s range. While early estimates suggest a modest increase of up to 10 miles per day, this can make a meaningful difference considering the average American travels less than 40 miles daily. The focus is on efficiency and sustainability, aligning with the growing demand for eco-conscious transportation solutions.
Future Launch Plans
While specific launch dates are yet to be announced, WorkSport is strategically planning to introduce the solar cover alongside their COR battery system. The company is currently finalizing testing on the battery and aims to proceed to manufacturing soon. This coordinated approach ensures a seamless integration of both technologies into the market.
