No way. It’s well documented by the experts on BBC that electric vehicles will never be mainstream in any way, shape or form. Come on, what does Ford know about vehicles and the market?! Sheesh.
Let’s go big blue oval. You can’t deny the EV movement anymore
No denying it now as Ford is investing billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs. A massive economic impact to the surrounding area.
What we cannot obtain from intelligence, we can learn from experience.
I’d love to have one!
I’m sure realtor is going to be a lucrative profession in that area
I live in Elizabethtown, KY which is in Hardin County, where Glendale is. Retired City Planner. The area is going to be dealing with the impacts of this for 10 years. Plants this size are a total game changer for communities. I guess the nice thing is the value of my home just went up about $70K. LOL!

I’ve not driven anything but ford for the last 15yrs and this new 21 f150 is the nicest riding truck I’ve owned but it won’t stay out of the shop to enjoy it. Nothing but electric issues, wrecker came to pick it up again today for the fourth time in four months and it’s the gas version ecoboost.
I didn't see when construction will start. If any of the stupid pending legislation passes this week, I'm betting the plan will be scrapped due to increased cost, inflation, reduced demand, increased taxes, and a sharp economic downturn.

I never backlash, but each time I go fishing I practice fixing them, just in case I ever do really backlash.
Great job Ford!!!
A few interesting points. Production to start in 2025 and be carbon neutral. I'm interested in when construction starts. Tesla is building their Giga Texas plant, and from start of construction to first production is a little over a year. Hopefully, Ford allows drone flyovers. It's interesting watching Tesla Giga factory being built.
At 86GWh per year that sounds like 500,000 vehicles per year. Thats a really good start. I'm really excited to see what they do to get carbon neutral. Lots of solar and energy storage I'm sure, things the lounge doesn't think works or exists.
I wonder what the battery tech will be and what chemistry. Ford has an agreement with Redwood Materials to recycle batteries and provide the material to Ford to use for new batteries. How does that play with SK innovations?
Exciting news and lots of questions.
Thanos was the hero
Sounds great Boneil, I bet it’s fun as hell sitting in a parking lot getting batteries charged for two hours or so. Wonder how long the lines will be to, glad I won’t be involved in that debacle.
“Carbon Neutral” what a crock of sheet. How much carbon is in a solar panel?
Today's stories put Ford's total investment at $11.4 Billion on 3 battery factories and 1 new truck plant, creating 11,000 new U.S. jobs. This is huge. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/27/b...-vehicles.html
Edit to add: plants will be in Tennessee and Kentucky.
