The ford f150 was popular for conversion kits from multiple companies. One of the easiest platforms to convert, lots of room for batteries and engine swap. Google and you can find multiple companies offering a swap.
Also ford going to offer a conversion kits with Mach-E crate motors, but appears the supply shortage and rising prices put a pause on it.

This is supposedly electric from the ground up, unlike the F-150 and Ford Transit, which are modified versions of gas vehicles.
