Ford Electric Vehicle Focus & Plans moving forward

Jun 2, 2022

For a while now, electric vehicles (EVs) have been rising. An electric motor transforms electricity from a battery into mechanical energy in these cars, powering the car. Among their many benefits, EVs reduce both fossil fuel consumption and pollution from auto emissions, enhancing air quality and protecting the environment. They also allow drivers to save money on gas and maintenance. As time passes, these futuristic models are becoming more and more accessible and desirable to the everyday driver. And audiences can rely on Ford to provide top-notch electric vehicles for its customers.

Founded in 1903, Ford has long been one of America’s favorite car brands. Renowned for its early innovations in the moving assembly line and beloved for its continued advancements in auto technology, it’s safe to say that Ford has transformed the auto industry as we know it. Naturally, Ford doesn’t plan on holding back on electric vehicles. Customers will appreciate the unmatched craftsmanship and ingenuity of all-new Ford electric or hybrid models. Read on to learn about Ford’s EV lineup and plans so you can decide if you want to go electric.

Ford’s 2023 EV Lineup

Ford Electric Vehicle Plans

Along with all-electric vehicles, some vehicles use both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine to power the car. These composite vehicles are called hybrids, and they come with many of the advantages of electric cars. Here are some of Ford’s latest and greatest EVs, plug-in hybrids, and regular hybrids:

F-150 Lightning

Starting at $39,947, the Ford F-150 pickup truck is sure to strike awe in car enthusiasts. This all-electric vehicle has a targeted EPA-estimated range of 300 miles with zero emissions and the reliable promise of Ford intelligent backup power. Plus, you’ll get a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds and an available towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.

Mustang Mach-E

Starting at $43,895, the Mustang Mach-E SUV can get from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. This powerful model also has an EPA-estimated range of 314 miles, all with no tailpipe emissions at all. Not to mention, you’ll get all the perks of the iconic, trendsetting Ford Mustang.

E-Transit

Starting at $46,295 MSRP, the Ford E-Transit is the best-selling commercial van brand in the U.S. As this all-new, assembled van is all-electric, owners may qualify for federal tax incentives. They may also save hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands on gas throughout the vehicle’s lifetime. Indeed, scheduled maintenance for the all-electric E-Transit models over eight years or 100,000 miles is estimated to be 40% less expensive than that of their gas-powered counterparts.

Hybrid Models

Similar to all-electric, hybrid models can also save you money on gas. Of course, Ford hybrids come with a myriad of other benefits. Here are some hybrid Ford models that may interest you:

Ford’s EV Plans

Here’s a breakdown of Ford’s mission and plans for electric vehicles:

The Ford Plus plan

The Ford Plus plan is to organize Ford into three distinct auto units. This will help specialize and strengthen processes so Ford can compete effectively against new and established EV automakers. Plus, it will unlock growth potential to create value for Ford’s shareholders. While these units will operate as separate businesses, they will share technologies and best practices to scale production and support operating improvements. All three businesses will have distinct profit and loss reports by the year 2023.

Ford Model e Division

The Ford Model e division will focus on accelerating change and breakthroughs for Ford electric vehicles. This includes technologies like EV platforms, batteries, e-motors, inverters, charging, and recycling efforts. This department will also forge ahead in developing software and connected technology and services for all Ford models. The team will apply software, engineering, design, UX, and network architecture skills. The idea for this division was formed after the success of models like the Mustang Mach-E SUV and the F-150 Lightning pickup truck.

Ford Blue Division

Ford Blue will continue to advance the brand’s portfolio of iconic, beloved internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to enhance growth and profitability. These are traditional, gas-powered vehicles powered only by an engine and advanced engineering capabilities. The focus will be on strengthening cherished models like the F-Series, Ranger, and Maverick trucks, Bronco and Explorer SUVs, and Mustangs. In the process, Ford will constantly find ways to reduce costs, eliminate waste, streamline operations, and improve quality, all while providing world-class hardware engineering and manufacturing for customers.

Ford Pro

The new Ford Pro segment will help unleash the power of the Ford Plus plan, positioning Ford to bring unparalleled business performance to the market. Another separate yet complementary division, Ford Pro, acts as a one-stop shop for commercial and government customers. It offers a selection of conventional and electric vehicles, not to mention a full suite of software, financing, and support for both Ford and non-Ford products.

Plan Goals

Here are some goals of this plan:

  • Ford expects to cement an annual production of more than 2 million EVs by 2026.
  • Ford wants to ensure EVs represent at least half of Ford’s global volume by 2030.
  • Ford expects a decline in ICE structural costs of up to $3 billion.
  • Ford expects to spend $5 billion on EVs in 2022.
  • Ford is committed to using 100% local, renewable electricity in all of its manufacturing operations by 2035 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Other Ford business divisions include Lincoln, Ford Drive, and Ford Credit.
