Lordstown Motors set for September launch

It will be the first full-size electric pick up truck, and Lordstown Motors is getting plenty of attention for it.
The electric vehicle company surpassed 100 thousand fleet pre-orders for the Endurance with an average order size of 600 vehicles per fleet.
"We did not think the sales would be that robust. I think we are enjoying pinned up demand since there is no other electric pick up truck," says Lordstown Motors CEO Steve Burns.
CEO Steve Burns says Lordstown Motors is in what's known as their Beta stage, with 57 beta vehicles set to be finished in March and line workers set to be hired just months after that.
"We just went over 350 employees, we have 150 contractors in addition to that in here, integrators as they call themselves they go from plant to plant for all the OEM's and reconfigure them, reprogram all the robots, get everything ready. Summertime, we will start to hire line workers for the September runs," says Burns.
Burns adds he expects more orders to roll in from government agencies once the first trucks roll off the production line, which they plan on doing in September of this year.
