Lordstown

Lordstown Motor Corp, or LMC, is an American EV automaker focusing on the production of electric pickup trucks. Established in 2018, it is only a few years old and has yet to make a real name for itself. The early years for the automaker were characterized by scandal and delay. Lordstown has recently partnered with Foxconn Technology Group and has finally started producing cars. So far, the lineup comprises just a single model, though the manufacturer has plans to expand the range in the future.

What to Consider When Buying a Lordstown EV

The EV marketplace is quickly expanding as more and more automakers seek to grab a piece of the pie; there are many startup companies looking to make their fortune in the growing market. Lordstown electric cars do not hail from a prodigious automaker with a long history. In fact, the Ohio-based manufacturer has yet to release more than a single model. So, what do Lordstown motor cars offer that makes them more tantalizing than established brand-name vehicles?

Pros

  • Rugged, more traditional aesthetic for an EV
  • Impressive performance specs
  • Unique electric hub configuration lowers maintenance costs
  • Relatively quick charging times
  • Practical frunk and cargo bed

Cons

  • Subpar towing capacity
  • Less overall driving range
  • Expensive compared to the competition
  • Extremely limited choice and no current stock

FAQs

What are the best Lordstown cars?

There is only a single model to speak of currently - that being the Endurance pickup. While we have had a good look at it, and we know that it comes equipped with a 600-horsepower quad-motor powertrain, we have no safety or reliability ratings to report since not enough models have been produced. It is otherwise a rugged and no-nonsense work truck that focuses on getting a job done efficiently rather than in style.

How long does it take to charge a Lordstown Endurance truck?

Equipped with a 109-kWh battery, the Endurance pickup takes a little over seven hours using the 240-volt hardwired wall box. Neither the size of the battery nor its charging speed are particularly impressive for the segment.

What is the price of new Lordstown electric cars?

Since there have been numerous delays in production, the exact cost of the Lordstown Endurance is not actually known. It was planned to sell for between $50,000 and $55,000 back in 2022, but that figure will likely have increased now.

When will the Lordstown Endurance be available?

Production was meant to start in 2021, but delays pushed this back to 2022 - or so we thought. Further financial strain has seen Lordstown once again push back the date to sometime in the second half of 2023.

Are there any upcoming Lordstown electric vehicles?

Since the first and latest model - the Endurance - has not even begun production, it is far too soon to talk about any future vehicles from the EV startup.
