Why this matters

Ford's entry into the sub-$35,000 EV truck market represents a critical bet on mass-market electrification amid cooling consumer demand and high financing costs. Hitting a 100,000-unit first-year goal would signal successful scaling of their battery supply chain and manufacturing efficiency.
