"FordÂ’s EV Plan in Trouble"

"Ford was supposed to be able to build 600,000 electric vehicles (EVs)
this year. Then, it wasnÂ’t. The date was pushed back to the end of 2024. Now, Ford may be unable to sell all those EVs, even if it hits that production number. Too few people want an F-150 Lightning, FordÂ’s
electric flagship. (These 15 cars hold their value the longest.)
According to Bloomberg, Ford has raised production of the hybrid F-150, a watered-down version that helps save gasoline and the environment. Jim Farley, Ford CEO, says he is surprised by the demand for the hybrid
version. He failed to mention that it is a sunsetting of his plan for
FordÂ’s future and aspirations.
The hybrid F-150 is cheaper than the Lightning. Apparently, pickup
drivers did not warm to its high price. The hybrid engine is ancient
compared to EV engines. Cleverly, Ford did not say the lack of demand for
the Lightning may be permanent.
Several research studies show many Americans do not want to own EVs. They take too long to charge, and there are too few charging stations.
Meanwhile, there are hundreds of thousands of gas stations in the United States, and it takes about 10 minutes to fill the tank of most pickups."
"Ford needed the Lightning to be a success. The F-150 is the gas-powered flagship of Ford and the best-selling vehicle in the United States for
four decades. If Ford cannot sell an electric version, the company will
be in deep trouble regarding the balance of its EV model line. And rival Tesla is bringing a competitor, the Cybertruck, to market this year.

According to its management, Ford has bet its future and billions of
dollars on EVs. Bill Ford, FordÂ’s executive chair, who controls the
company via his familyÂ’s shares, said the Lightning is the most important vehicle launch of his tenure. Sorry, but it isnÂ’t working out as
planned."

Sure, but who can afford them? let me guess the same people who complain
they can't repay their student loans.
The castle is crumbling.

Presently, the only Ev worth buying are the Tesla models. All the rest are behind in the technology
although theoretically they do have an advantage by having a large network for servicing and parts
procurement.
The Ev fad could possibly turn out to be a huge nothing burger.
We shall see in time.

"He brings up a great point. The electric vehicles on the market are
well beyond the means of most consumers and get more expensive all the
time. Tesla and Rivian both hiked their prices this month. The
cheapest Tesla, a Model 3, now costs $47,000 to start. Ford’s Mach-E
has a similar base price if you include the delivery charge and taxes. >Cadillac’s Lyriq will start at around $60,000 when it goes into
production next week."
