Police release video of Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup fire.

Police bodycam footage from a February F-150 Lightning battery fire in a Dearborn holding lot revealed dramatic images of three melted pickup trucks, according to video footage released by the Dearborn Police Department. The incident involved three electric vehicles and no injuries and resulted in a five-week production shutdown. The automaker worked with battery supplier SK On to identify the cause and resolution prior to restart. In March, after consulting with its supplier, Ford recalled 18 of the 2023 F-150 Lightning pickups. The video highlights an emerging concern regarding the adoption of EVs: Volatile battery fires.
