Electric vehicles are going to be an essential part of this planet's future, and Ford is leading the way in increasing their popularity and availability. Recently, Ford paired with a battery company from South Korea in order to invest $11.4 billion in electric vehicle plants. The idea is for Ford to make it so that half of their cars are zero-emission by 2030.
The other part of this is that it will create 11,000 jobs and increase the availability of electric vehicles. The first thing they are focusing on doing in terms of future investment involves a factory in Tennessee called Blue Oval City. It's a massive undertaking, and the factory will eventually sprawl over a 6 square mile radius.
Electric Vehicles for the Future
The idea here is to use this factory to create electric batteries on a huge scale so that Ford EV machines can be mass-produced and everyone who wants an electric vehicle can get one. Currently, of all the sales done for EV machines throughout the world, only 2 percent of them are in the United States.
Ford is also ramping up production of electric vehicles in its Texas and Michigan plants as well. The more of these vehicles that can be produced, the better it will be when it comes to sustainability and a switch from a reliance on fossil fuels to a reliance on new forms of energy.
This is likely to happen anyway, but it will be important to speed up how quickly it comes to fruition. The other part of the equation is investment from the government. Private companies like Ford can only do so much.
There are also bills that need to pass congress, such as creating customer incentives for EV machines to increase their adoption. They may also add a number of electric charge stations to increase customer adoption as well. Plus, 2026 may mark the date where emissions laws are even stricter, making electric vehicles more and more attractive to consumers.
