Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 15, 2018 Ford will more than double its investment in EVs in bid to catch up with GM and other major automakers. It's $11 billion investment on the technology by 2022. This company is planning to roll out 10 fully EVs within 5 years and first one would arrive in 2020. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 15, 2018 Ford's rivalry with GM lasts for a long time. It seems like Ford is always trying to catch up GM, but unlike GM, Ford's sales stagnated last year. GM already promised 20 new EVs by 2023 and I would put my bet on GM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Varga + 123 AV January 15, 2018 Now when the most of the countries are demanding lower emissions every major auto manufacturer claim they are committed to EV future. I would call it a survival among the automakers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 15, 2018 It's nice to hear they are making more electric cars, but what about it would be nice to see them creating their own EV charging network. That would be a nice start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 15, 2018 Exactly. Where Ford and GM expect their batteries to be charged? That's a reason why battery cars will fail and hydrogen cars are our future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 15, 2018 EVs are better option because they are simpler. Hybrid cars are heavier and complicated because an increase in fuel efficiency is limited. And also more expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
