Ford Unveils Ambitious EV Plans: Affordable Pickup, Universal Platform, and Production System

Ford introduced three significant concepts: a budget-friendly, crew-cab electric pickup truck arriving in 2027, a universal EV platform, and a revolutionary production system. The truck, while described as 'mid-sized,' aims for the interior space of a Toyota RAV4, boasting a 0-60 mph time comparable to an EcoBoost Mustang (4.5 seconds). Built on a 400-volt architecture with a LFP battery from Ford's BlueOval Battery Park, it will feature over-the-air updates. More importantly, Ford's universal platform and production system promise cost savings and efficiency gains through modular design, paving the way for affordable EVs.
