I would only hold my breath for such target to become achievable somehow if Ford eventually increases the international availability of the F-150 into regions where the stereotypical American gas-guzzler is economically unviable, but it's not a safe bet at all.

The way I see this playing out is "Honey - I'll let you have your big pickup truck, but only if it's an green EV".
Of course a lot of new car sales are heavily influenced by women, just like the home appliances and furniture are often chosen by them. While most people are actually not so excited about cars, seeing them as some sort of appliance, it doesn't surprise me to see women influencing the buying pattern. But the average Sally still seems more inclined toward safety than the "green" approach.
