The company AusEV will handle adapting the Ford F-150 Lightning EREV for Australian conditions, including fitting right-hand drive. Once all necessary modifications are complete, the vehicle will go on sale locally.

A key feature of the new Ford F-150 Lightning EREV is its hybrid powertrain, which combines an electric motor, a small battery, and a gasoline generator. This configuration significantly extends the vehicle's range to over 1,125 kilometers. This is a major advantage over the purely electric version, boosting the truck's appeal for potential buyers.

Sales of the updated Ford F-150 Lightning EREV are slated to begin in 2027. The move comes as interest in fully electric vehicles wanes among American consumers. Meanwhile, the current all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning EV will remain available in Australia until the updated hybrid model arrives.
