Ford is getting ahead with a new factory complex building project, aiming to facilitate its electrification plans.
Ford is serious about its electrification plans; the blue oval started the building of two mega factories in Tennessee and Kentucky where most of its electric battery and electric cars' production will be concentrated. This new building project will boost Ford's EV production significantly, facilitating the electrification of a good portion of its portfolio, as its strategy stipulates.
A $7 billion check was cashed to realize this fate-changing project; the plan is to build the BlueOval City in Tennessee which consists of one battery factory, and two more constituting the BlueOvalSK factory complex in Kentucky, built in collaboration with Ford’s partner SK On. The work on both sites is going at double speed, with tons of soil and stone already moved around only a few days after the announcement.
Both states will benefit immensely from the investment, Ford says that Tennessee residents are welcome to apply for almost 6,000 job openings, while Kentucky will have about 5,000. The combined production volume of the two plants will amount to 129-gigawatt hours of production capacity yearly, according to Ford’s own estimates.
Ford’s first EVs were a stunning success; both the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning were great sensations in their respective segments, to the point where Ford has been struggling to satisfy the sky-high demand. The new factories will alleviate some pressure, giving the company more room to navigate the demand for its brand-new EVs, especially when we take into consideration the imminent launch of even more electric models.
Ford is also aiming at other important objectives with its new factory complexes, the main one is circumventing the supply chain issues that have plagued the industry for a couple of years now, the other objective is to meet the new EV tax credits requirements which demand that battery and other main EV components to be procured from local sources, and the cars to be manufactured locally as well.
