I say go electric, the more gasoline we export the better.
Batteries. that why I don't think we will see a huge number of electric F150's. My esitimate is the cost of the battery pack is $16000 to $20000 for Ford. with that cost I think Ford is losing money or breaking even on the F-150 Lightening, maybe making a small profit in the higher trim levels.
