Ford has become the #2 electric vehicle seller in the USA, but it’s also now #1 in something in the field. It’s the first automaker to state that it will produce both NMC and LFP batteries for electric vehicles in the United States.
Some versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E will start using LFP batteries this year. The Ford F-150 Lightning will start using LFP batteries in some trims in 2024. Other Ford EVs will use LFP batteries, too, but the company isn’t naming them yet. “Ford’s electric vehicle lineup has generated huge demand. To get as many Ford EVs to customers as possible, we’re the first automaker to commit to build both NCM and LFP batteries in the United States,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “We’re delivering on our commitments as we scale LFP and NCM batteries and thousands, and soon millions, of customers will begin to reap the benefits of Ford EVs with cutting-edge, durable battery technologies that are growing more affordable over time.
“Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer speaks at Ford Ion Park in Romulus, Michigan, on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023 where Ford Motor Company announced plans for a lithium iron phosphate battery plant in Marshall, Michigan. Ford is investing $3.5 billion in the country’s first automaker-backed LFP battery plant, offering customers a second battery technology within Ford’s electric vehicle lineup.
