A few weeks back, The Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) announced that it would up the production of its electric Ford F-150 after the company saw so much demand for the electric version of its cornerstone pickup truck. In fact, the company went so far as to expand production from just 40,000 units to promising consumers that more than 150,000 would be delivered per year.

What is even more impressive is that the company was able to veer dealerships who had plans to extort this demand from even thinking about marking up prices by letting it be known that it “wasn’t having that” when it came to raising the price for pre-orders or delivery at the time of arrival.

Sporting everything from extra trunk space and the ability to act as a temporary generator during times of total blackout, Ford has literally thought of everything in the design of this new model. And still, what happens during a natural disaster and at times when there’s no immediate electric grid to plug into? What happens when the battery has not fully been charged, but you’ve spent a whole weekend camping in the wilderness?
