Just a few months after announcing a \u201cradical<\/a>\u201d split structure placing its electric vehicle future in a new segment called Model E<\/a>, Ford is discussing more details<\/a> about sourcing battery production capacity and the basic raw materials to power all of those EVs that are definitely not vaporware cars<\/a>. By late 2023, Ford plans to have enough battery supply so that it can support the production of 270,000 Mustang Mach-Es, 150,000 Transit EVs, 150,000 F-150 Lightnings, and 30,000 units of a mystery all-new midsize SUV destined for release in Europe.<\/p>\n

What it did not mention, however, is a report from Bloomberg<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday indicating that the company is planning to lay off as many as 8,000 people from the Ford Blue segment that is now responsible for its legacy internal combustion engine-powered businesses.<\/p>\n

One part of the plan revealed today includes updates for the batteries used in the Mustang Mach-E<\/a> and F-150 Lightning EVs<\/a>. It\u2019s adding lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) made by Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) for the Mach-E in 2023 and the F-150 Lightning in 2024.<\/p>\n

Ford says these will be available alongside batteries with the existing nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) chemistry, which is a similar approach to that of Tesla. In Tesla\u2019s Q1 earnings report earlier this year<\/a>, the company said \u201cnearly half of Tesla vehicles produced in Q1 were equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, containing no nickel or cobalt,\u201d including most standard range vehicles. Ford will take the same approach by using them for standard range battery packs, playing to the strengths of the LFP batteries, which tend to be cheaper but aren\u2019t as energy dense.<\/p>\n

Ford says it has 100 percent of the battery cell production capacity needed to build 600,000 electric cars and trucks annually by \u201clate 2023,\u201d between the new packs as well as doubled capacity at LG Energy Solution\u2019s Wroclaw, Poland, production facility and additional cell production capacity from SK On<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking further down the road to its target of building 2 million EVs globally by late 2026, Ford announced a separate non-binding MOU with battery giant CATL to \u201cexplore a cooperation\u201d for building batteries across China, Europe, and North America. That\u2019s in addition to previously announced battery plants in Kentucky and Tennessee<\/a> as well as agreements with mining companies to directly source necessary raw materials, including \u201cmost of the nickel needed through 2026 and beyond.\u201d Ford says it plans to invest $50 billion in EVs through the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
