Ford, SK make $11.4B EV bet with new electric F-150 plant, three battery plants

  • Ford (NYSE:F) unveiled plans to team with South Korean battery maker SK Innovation to spend $11.4B to build an electric F-150 assembly plant and three battery plants in the U.S., in a substantial acceleration of its push into electric vehicles.
  • Ford will build two massive battery factories in Glendale, Ky., and a third in Stanton, Tenn., alongside a new truck factory set to begin producing electric F-series pickups by 2025, creating 11K jobs.
  • The company says the planned $5.8B Blue Oval City complex in Tennessee "will usher in a new era for American manufacturing," comparing it to the Rouge complex in Michigan a century ago.
  • Ford expects to spend $7B on the project - which it says is the largest ever manufacturing investment at one time by any automotive manufacturer in the U.S. - and SK plans to chip in with $4.4B, which the companies say will provide enough capacity to build batteries for 1M electric vehicles per year.
  • Ford says it now expects 40%-50% of its global vehicle production volume will be fully electric by 2030.
  • The new megacampus and twin battery plants are part of the company's previously announced plan to spend at least $30B through 2030 on vehicle electrification.
