Ford has resumed production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck.
The U.S. automaker suspended production last month after a battery in one newly built truck caught fire in a holding lot. Ford also increased the price on some Lightning versions.
Ford said the standard-range Lightning Pro, a lower-cost version of the truck optimized for fleet use, will now start at just under $60,000, a 50% markup.
- The standard-range Lightning Pro was initially priced at about $40,000 when it was first announced in 2021.
- The mid-level Lariat trim with standard-range battery was increased from $74,500 to just under $76,000.
- The top-line Platinum trim was increased from about $96,900 to just over $98,000.
