Techstination feature for Monday, May 24, 2021

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Ford calls it the F-150 Lightning…an all electric version of the best selling vehicle in the United States…every year for the last forty years.   And the new F-150 Lightning…promises to jumpstart sales of EVs in a big way.  There are different battery range options… up to 300 miles  and also available is Ford’s BlueCruise technology.    F150 Lightning Chief Engineer Linda Zhang..

“With Blue Cruise there’s a lot of really cool features including intelligent ACC with stop and go.  So it will accelerate and decelerate for you depending on the traffic around you.   It’s really, really cool.”

You’ll want to check out our full interview and tour with Linda at our Web site.   The F-150 Lightning is due to arrive in the Spring of next year…with reservations available for a 100 dollar deposit.
