Blue Oval City: Ford’s Making Its Biggest Factory Complex Ever To Support EV Production
else who wants to be a future player is expanding global supply and production networks to do what needs done to accomplish their part of the EV transition. But, we haven’t seen anyone build a whole city’s worth of production … until now.
The $5.6 billion investment from Ford and SK On to build a cutting-edge all-electric truck and advanced batteries for future Ford and Lincoln vehicles in West Tennessee was made less than a year after the two companies signed their agreement. When production begins in 2025, the nearly 6-square-mile mega campus will provide about 6,000 new jobs.
Ford — America’s No. 2 electric vehicle brand — gets closer to its goal of a 2 million EV production run rate worldwide by late 2026 with construction underway at BlueOval City. Ford is continuing its involvement in various West Tennessee communities by holding livestreamed discussions and participating in collaborative projects. Most significantly, the company has partnered with the University of Tennessee to restore stream waters flowing through the school’s Lone Oaks Farm and expand STEM education opportunities for students from kindergarten to 12th grade across the state.
