The Ford F-150 Lightning is invading Norway

Ford will begin exporting the F-150 Lightning electric pickup to Norway in 2024. Approximately 80% of new vehicle sales in the country are now electric vehicles.

The Ford F-150 Lightning will soon be driving under the northern lights of Europe.

Ford has announced that it will begin exporting the all-electric pickup to Norway starting next year.

The country of 5.4 million sells the most electric vehicles per capita in the world, and Ford says demand for the truck has been strong.

"I've had customers literally banging on my door and pleading with us to bring the electric pickup to Norway," Per Gunnar Berg, Ford Norway managing director, said.

"F-150 Lightning is the perfect match for many customers in Norway -- uniquely capable of quenching our thirst for adventure while embracing our passion for protecting the environment."

Ford said it expects the F-150 Lightning to be the only full-size electric pickup from a major manufacturer on sale in the country when deliveries begin.

Pricing has not been announced, but it will kick things off with a limited edition Antimatter Blue Launch Edition and will make the F-150 Lightning available through its network of 70 dealers.

Nearly 175,000 new cars were sold in Norway last year, and 80% of them were electric modes thanks in part to generous sales and import tax exemptions.

Among them were 4,226 examples of the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, which has been available in the country since it was launched in 2021.
