The carmaker is also announcing an additional investment in three Michigan facilities in combination with this announcement. It would be to increase the production capacity of the F-150 Lightning. There are over 150,000 reservations for Ford Lighting. Ford says, in total, it’s going to add 450 new jobs with a $250 million investment. Moreover, the jobs will be at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, Van Dyke Electric Powertrain Center, and Rawsonville Components Plant. The carmaker is saying this additional fuel will allow it to produce 80,000 trucks per year. Moreover, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell are attending Ford’s event.
“Therefore, we knew the F-150 Lightning was special. However, the interest from the public has gone beyond our highest expectations. Thus it is changing the conversation around electric vehicles,” says Bill Ford. He is the executive chair, Ford. “Moreover, we are doubling down, then adding jobs and investment to increase the production.”
