“They are starting to catch the wave at about 8 percent market share right now,” Lomeli says.
Lomeli shares his expertise in front of a Ford 150 Lightning electric truck provided to the show by Elk Grove Ford. “This is used for hauling and towing,” he says. “We are starting to see some of these specialty vehicles hit the market. And it’s a great time (to buy) with the selection available.”
