Ford Discusses New Affordable EV Platform

Ford Discusses New Affordable EV PlatformI'm curious just how many affordable EVs Ford is planning to develop using this platform. For now, it's looking like it's going to be some sort of compact, non bronco sport crossover, as well as a bronco sport, and a maverick. All solid choices. A small transit connect with around 100-150 miles of range would also go over quite well for small businesses who couldn't afford, or didn't need something as big as a full-sized e-transit, and would further strengthen Ford's dominance in the commercial space. We've already discussed the potential of an electric sedan, and why that probably isn't happening.


As for other things that probably aren't gonna happen, but screw it, I can dream, a sporty halo model for the platform. Something like an rs200 successor in the 40 to 50 grand price range, maybe with 250-300 hp. AWD, with a mid mounted battery pack. That would let Ford test the waters with a sporty EV model, without commiting fully to making an electric mustang or something, and would give Ford's new affordable EV platform a ton of wow factor right out of the gate.Thu, 07 Mar 2024 02:28:06 +0000
