Recently, Ford CEO Jim Farley said in an interview with foreign media: "I have the confidence to surpass Tesla in the sales of electric vehicles in the US electric vehicle market, but first of all, I hope to surpass General Motors." To accomplish this goal, Ford will increase its electric vehicle capacity to 600,000 units per year within two years and become the world's second-largest electric vehicle manufacturer. ”
Prior to this, Lisa Drake, Chief Operating Officer of Ford Motor North America, said: "Ford will maintain cooperation with five battery suppliers including CATL, BYD, SK, LG Energy Solution and Panasonic. ”
According to the plan, the 600,000-year production capacity will be allocated to Three Pure Electric Vehicles under Ford Motor, The Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit (Quanshun Pure Electric Version). "Consumer demand for the F-150 Lightning is rising, with cumulative orders approaching 200,000 units, and the Mustang Mach-E also sold 22,000 units this year." Lisa Drake expects that by 2030, 1/3 of the full-size pickup truck market will be driven by pure electrics.
