Such an informative article — SNORT! The author conveniently omitted critical information:
1. Energy density of the new batteries. Are they closing in on hydrocarbon fuels? Or still at 1/13 of hydrocarbons?
2. Life of the battery
3. Dependence on China for materials. How convenient the author left that out.
4. Dependence on African child labor for cobalt.
5. Recyclability of the new batteries.
6. And biggest of all, where is all the power coming from to charge these batteries?

What are the electric utilities doing to support this?

Ford will produce them - and government will FORCE you to buy them.

Yeah, they can build them, but will they sell them. I’m not buying.

I wonder just how many engineers and marketing analysts at Ford have been sending out their resumes since no one at Ford listens to them.

Electric cars have one advantage: When utilities are out and gas is rationed, those with solar systems can charge and drive.

In other words, Ford is saying that if you are under 30 years old, you will have an EV in your lifetime, and you will have no choice but to have an EV.

“Ford plans…..”
*********************

Sure… and I “plan” to be worth over two billion dollars by 2026.

Will that be reality? No but it’s important that I “plan”for that goal. Just like Ford!

Why? The power grid can’t support them.

Wait a second I thought they were having trouble making anything because of the chip shortage thing

Any sane corporate exec: “But…” Then he's cancelled. This is Ford, this is the USA, lol.

No way to deal with current events other than as entertainment.

Where are we getting all the electricity to charge these vehicles?

We don’t have enough electricity to cool everyone’s homes and keep the lights on now. And they aren’t building new generating plants. It will take 5-10 years to build a single generating plant with all the environmental red tape.
