Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
Various EV outlets and even Bloomberg are reporting that Ford has secret plans to build an affordable EV platform, aiming for. In this article, I want to talk about why they’re doing this and speculate on whether they can actually pull it off. Myself and other writers at CleanTechnica have been hammering on this for years. Not only is offering an affordable EV critical to making sure everyone can afford to buy one, but it’s essential to dealing with foreign competitors.
We also have to keep in mind that U.S. automakers like to see vehicles globally, and the United States Congress can’t pass laws in places like Europe, South America, or Africa, so there’s still a great need to compete with cheaper platforms, even if the United States were to somehow keep cheaper Chinese EVs out forever.Very little information is presently available on that, unfortunately.
For the rest of the platform, word in EV media is that Ford has been working on the platform in secret for some time. It’s supposedly even a “Skunk Works” type-project to the United States. So, there’s really no secret Chinese sauce that GM had access to that Ford didn’t.
