Ford unveils a transformative strategy for affordable electric vehicles with a new $30,000 EV truck. CEO Jim Farley acknowledges the risks involved, noting the automotive industry's history with failed affordable vehicle launches. The strategy focuses on innovative manufacturing techniques like gigacasting and software-defined architectures. Acknowledging the competition from China's electric car industry, Ford aims to avoid retrofitting gas vehicles by developing a truck that maintains mass production viability at a competitive price. Reactions to this announcement vary, reflecting skepticism based on past industry promises.
"We're doing so many new things, I can't tell you with 100% certainty that this will all go just right," Ford CEO Jim Farley said this week in Kentucky as his team unveiled a bold new plan for affordable electric vehicles. "It is a bet. There is risk."
Ford's bold new $30,000 EV truck and manufacturing plans highlight significant changes in how Ford builds cars, property targeting competitive pricing and modern manufacturing processes.
