Here's why Ford is betting on LFP batteries in some of its models, and the advantages they offer.
"Ford’s electric vehicle line-up has generated huge demand. We’re delivering on our commitments as we scale LFP and NCM batteries and thousands, and soon millions, of customers will begin to reap the benefits of Ford EVs with cutting-edge, durable battery technologies that are growing more affordable over time," said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO.
What's more, the automaker plans to invest $3.5 billion to construct what will be the first automaker-backed LFP battery plant in the US, with the BlueOval Battery Park Michigan slated to open in three short years.But even before BlueOval Battery Park Michigan opens, the automaker has hinted that it will offer LFP batteries in other models in development at the moment, including ones that will be positioned below the Mach-E.
"These LFP batteries will power a variety of affordable, next-generation Ford EV passenger vehicles and trucks under development, most of which will be assembled in the U.S," the automaker added.
