Auto insider talks about electric F-150 Lightning

Auto Line TV and WWJ's auto Analyst, John McElroy, says most American auto companies are already gearing up to go electric and the president can give them a push by spotlighting Ford's popular truck.

President Joe Biden is planning to visit the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn next week before Ford reveals its new electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning.

Biden will tour the electric truck line May 18, the day before Ford will reveal the truck at its World Headquarters in Dearborn.
