Ford has said it will restart F-150 Lightning production. And will wireless bidirectional charging help make Tesla vehicles more useful at home and to the grid? Tesla suggested in its Investor Day presentation that it’s considering wireless EV charging as part of its future. The design of the Kia EV9 electric SUV was teased on Thursday in a few obscured images, although they’re enough to highlight that the production EV9 will very closely resemble the EV9 concept. Ford confirmed Thursday that it will restart production of the F-150 Lightning electric truck on March 13, allowing time for new batteries and packs to be delivered to the production line.
