Used Ford F-150 Lightning sells in about 20 days as prices sit at 50% to 60% of sticker
By Eve
Following the end of F-150 Lightning production last December, used examples are selling in about 20 days, against a 44-day average for used vehicles in the US. Edmunds.com data shows prices up 4% to about $50,000 since the start of the year, and Plug CEO Jimmy Douglas told Bloomberg that close to one-third of used units are sold by rival dealerships directly rather than returned to Ford. Ford CEO Jim Farley had said the $50K, $70K and $80,000 EVs were not selling when production ended.
Why it matters
A strong used market for electric pickups suggests growing demand for lower-priced EV ownership, which can widen the base of drivers and fleets needing charging access, including truck-capable sites. CPOs and procurement teams should note that the demand is showing up in secondary sales rather than new registrations.

Ford builds first Fathom electric pickups on its Louisville production line for validation testing
Ford COO Kumar Galhotra said on the company's recent quarterly earnings call that 90% of validation testing is complete and that the first production line vehicles have been built at the Louisville assembly plant. These are validation vehicles rather than customer-ready production units, with deliveries of the affordable electric pickup scheduled for late 2027. The Fathom will be built using an assembly tree method, in which front, middle and rear sections are put together simultaneously and joined near the end, on Ford's Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.
Why it matters
A credible launch timetable for a mass-market affordable electric pickup gives CPOs and site developers a clearer view of when a new wave of US drivers may need charging access. Planners weighing fleet and depot demand for pickups can use the late 2027 delivery window as a reference point.
Ford reports its EV batteries keep more than 90% health on average after 100,000 miles
Ford says data from over 36,000 vehicles that have covered two billion miles across the US and Canada shows its EV battery packs, including the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit, retain more than 90% health on average at 100,000 miles. The Mach-E has averaged 92% over five years, and 95% of vehicles fall between 87% and 97% health. Among 2021 model-year owners, more than 2,000 have passed 100,000 miles at better than 91% average health, and over 30 have passed 200,000 miles at an average of 88%.
Why it matters
Evidence of slow battery degradation supports longer vehicle lifecycles and steadier long-term charging demand, which helps utilisation forecasts and site business cases. It also points to fleet operators, including those running E-Transit vans, facing lower residual-value risk when planning depot charging.
Volvo opens UK orders for XC90 T8 Long Range PHEV at £75,765
Volvo has opened UK orders for the XC90 T8 Long Range Plug-in Hybrid at £75,765, positioned above the £66,270 B5 Mild Hybrid. It offers 101 miles of electric range, more than double the previous T8 PHEV, from a 41kWh battery paired with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 461PS. Total range is 1,096 miles, the official rating is 941.6mpg, and 0 to 62mph takes 5.2 seconds.
Why it matters
A 41kWh battery and 101 miles of electric range could shift more PHEV driver journeys onto electric running, which matters for workplace and home charging demand and for fleet charging policy. Buyers and CPOs weighing PHEV uptake in premium fleets should note the larger battery when planning charger provision.
