Ford F-150 Lightning owners in Florida and South Carolina used their trucks as mobile generators. Courtesy of Justin LongLong, who also hosts the podcast Straight from the Horse Doctor's Mouth, will talk to anyone who will listen about his electric truck's capabilities. Advertisement"So many people were stunned to realize that everything inside the vet clinic was running off my truck," Long said.

A fourth person said some of the companies were notified on Tuesday that their licenses were revoked effective immediately. The U.S. Commerce Department earlier in the day confirmed it had revoked some licenses but stopped short of naming the companies. “We have revoked certain licenses for exports to Huawei,” the Commerce Department said in a statement, declining to specify which ones it had withdrawn. The move could hurt Huawei, which still relies on Intel chips to power its laptops, and could hurt US suppliers that do business with the company. In a regulatory filing earlier this month, Qualcomm said it did not expect to receive more chip revenue from Huawei beyond this year.

Ford Motor Co. displays a new 2021 Ford F-150 pickup truck at the Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan, Sept. 17, 2020. Heads up, hybrid fans: Ford Motor is working on a whole bunch of new hybrid models. "We have been surprised, frankly, at the popularity of hybrid systems for F-150," Farley said during Ford's second-quarter earnings call. More than 10% of F-150 pickup customers are opting for the hybrid model, Farley said, and that percentage has been increasing. But why double down on hybrids just as the industry is making a big push toward pure EVs?
