The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning may not be the most efficient EV, but it will have a much lower carbon footprint than the internal-combustion F-150. And a new Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) analysis helps underscore how significant than difference is.

The Ford F-150 Lightning is between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds heavier than the non-electric version. The electric F-150 weighs 700 kg more than its petrol-powered predecessor. Electric vehicles powered from a clean grid are an essential step in the right direction. Electrifying vehicles adds yet more weight.

It’s probably easiest to assume the Rivian is in between your typical midsize and full-size half-ton truck, so I did a quick comparo between 4WD quad-cab short-bed versions of Ford’s Ranger and F-150 to illustrate.

No less an auto industry titan as Ford has also made bidirectional charging a selling point of their F-150 Lightning electric truck, reportedly slated to roll off the lines this year. Cleaner power—and energy sourcing—is a more pressing concern. The Ukraine war is playing havoc with energy pricing and market stability.
