[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1813496, member: 35314"] They won't make an EV Raptor anytime soon because they don't need to in order to make money. I also don't think it will be as easy to convert from Lightning to Raptor as it was from F150 to Raptor. The current Lightning can't even be lifted, as the geometry of rear shocks doesn't allow it. Either it was required to allow room for batteries, or intentional? Why would Ford do that intentionally? Because the range on a lifted Lightning probably goes to crap, and perhaps goes out of engineering safety, etc. Either way though, engineering an EV Raptor isn't going to be easy. The article sort of brings up a good point though. Raptor sales are partly trophy truck, and when the Lightning starts crushing Raptor on street performance, some may prefer to go through Starbucks in a Lightning rather than Raptor. I'm not saying it won't happen, but 2025 is too early. And I can't see a maverick raptor happening. No one buys a maverick wishing there was a more offroad trim. [/QUOTE]
