Ford officially revealed its new all-electric F-150 Lightning truck nearly a year ago. The company had planned for its extended range batteries to go up to 300 miles on a single charge, but now Ford is saying the max range has been pushed to 320 miles.

This news comes from the official EPA-estimated battery range that Ford published on its website earlier this week. Of course, the 320-mile range only applies to the top-end battery in the new F-150 Lightning.

Ford’s F-150 Lightning Pro ER (Fleet only), Lightning XLT ER, and Lightning Lariat ER are all fitted with the 320-mile range battery. Most of the batteries in the other models offered reached the targeted range of 230 miles per charge, with the exception of one model.

The F-150 Lightning Platinum features a mid-range battery and is rated for up to 300 miles on a single charge. Like the other extended range options, this is also a 20-mile increase over Ford’s original estimates.

The new Ford F-150 Lightning line starts at just under $40k, but only for fleet customers. For everyday customers, the XLT model with a standard battery is the cheapest option, at around $55k. And adding the extended battery option will increase the price by another $10k.

Early models of the new EV will begin shipping later this spring. The company was taking reservations on its website, but reservations have ended as the company begins fulfilling orders.
