The United States Forest Service is going electric with an EV pilot program.
. The electric trucks will help the Forest Service learn the new requirements for EVs inside of its fleet and how better to accommodate them when EVs join the fleet en masse.
The F-150 Lightnings all share the same spec sheet and are standard-range models, which means they can travel 230 miles per charge. The extended-range batteries would probably make life easier, but the shorter range could help show the need for more charging stations. Obviously, these won’t be the only battery-electric vehicles that make it into the US Forest Services fleet—especially if the current requirement for ZEV adoption stays on the books. With a flood of more battery-electric vehicles making their way to market, there might be more than just F-150 Lightning trucks heading to work in your local national forest.
