Blue Oval City will build pickups and batteries
Construction of Ford’s new Blue Oval City manufacturing complex in Stanton, Tennessee, is now well underway following its announcement last September.
The $5.6 billion campus is scheduled to begin production of electric trucks and batteries in partnership with Korea’s SK On in 2025.
Building supports have begun rising from the property for a facility that will cover six square miles and employ 6,000 workers when it is completed.
“This facility is the blueprint for Ford’s future manufacturing facilities and will enable Ford to help lead America’s shift to electric vehicles,” Eric Grubb, Ford’s director of new footprint construction said.
In other Ford news, it was reported elsewhere they are parking nearly completed trucks because of supply chain issues with the blue oval emblem attached to the front grille. Fact.
How much ya wanna bet the new factory runs exclusively on wind, solar and unicorn farts?
Ford is creating a lot of construction jobs which is great, however they are wasting their money because the whole EV plan is premature. Our infrastructure is not yet developed for this type of transportation. Ford would do well to build several nuclear power plants first, before flooding the market with useless electric trucks.
And how much grant money did they get?
Better build more charging stations !!!!
Better make Larger & New Electric GRIDS First !!!!!!
Better OPEN our Gas & Oil PIPELINES !!!!! Because they NOT GOING ANYWHERE !!!! Democrats ARE !!!!
