Key Takeaways
- Ford plans five new EVs on a universal platform starting with a midsize electric pickup, targeting under $40,000 by 2030
- Cheaper LFP batteries from Blue Oval Battery Park are physically larger, requiring full-size vehicles to achieve 300-mile range
- Zonal electrical architecture eliminates thousands of feet of wiring by replacing dozens of control modules with a few master units
- Re-engineered side mirrors and mega-castings reduce part counts while improving aerodynamics and range
