Ford's Next-Gen EVs Will Cost Less — But Don't Expect Them to Shrink
Ford has made significant engineering breakthroughs to reduce EV costs, but its upcoming electric vehicles will remain full-size. Cheaper batteries, simplified wiring, and multi-function components drive savings without sacrificing vehicle dimensions.
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
