Ford Battery Supplier Bails

Project 2MM and sell only 60k. Anyone else see the writing on the wall for Ford EV?

Ford Motor Co. and SK Innovation Co.’s battery unit canceled plans to build an electric-vehicle battery plant in Turkey amid rising global interest rates and weaker EV demand in Europe, the Korea Economic Daily reported.

The two companies recently withdrew an initial accord that was signed in March 2022, the paper said Monday, citing unidentified sources. The plant was slated to start operation as soon as 2025 with annual production capacity of 30 to 45 gigawatt hours and was part of a push by Ford to produce 2 million electric vehicles a year by 2026.

Someone in purchasing probably didn’t get the kickback from Supplier for Christmas

Looks like the supplier called Ford’s bluff on projected volumes. Hard to recover investment costs when volumes are a fraction of what Ford claims. This is a well perfected process used by Ford Purchasing with the supply base. Another ABF moment (Anybody but Ford)

This is just noise. Don't look into it too hard. The Ford+ plan company transformation is still on track. We will meet the 2 million demand for our EV's and services in 2026.
