Reasons for pulling AM radio have included a supposed loss of interest in the band by owners, interference from EV powertrains, and the lack of the band in Europe.

Ford is instead simply trying to make the smallest possible battery for competitive range.

Efficiency and minimizing the battery is a top priority in engineering Ford’s second-gen EVs—which is why they won’t look like gasoline models.

While Ford sends signals it's going big with upcoming EVs for the U.S., it revealed a very intriguing small EV for Europe.

The three-year trial project, based in the UK, will look at whether it can deliver “enhanced zero-emission-driving range for E-Transit customers with energy-intensive use cases.”

Lower-cost LFP cells are coming first to the Mustang Mach-E in calendar year 2023 and then to the F-150 Lightning in 2024.

The Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring PHEV will also remain at $7,500, while amounts on the Ford Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit EVs, among others, will be cut in half.

The latest adjustment adds $4,000 to the base version of the fully electric F-150—meaning it now adds up to $61,869 with destination.

The company is promising dramatically simplified manufacturing, with the software and hardware complexity to allow constant improvement.

Related to the Volkswagen ID.4, the electric Explorer revealed on Tuesday isn’t due to ever be sold in the U.S.

Are EVs useless in the extreme cold? I took on subzero Minnesota weather in a Ford F-150 Lightning to separate fact from fiction.

The USPS is buying off-the-shelf Ford E-Transit electric vans, because electric versions of the custom-designed delivery vehicles awarded the government contract remain years from delivery.

Engineers found that heating surfaces rather than air reduced energy consumption by 13% in delivery vans, equating to a 5% increase in range based on real-world charging patterns.

The charging solution would allow vehicles to take in power through one charge port and send it to another vehicle through a second port.

Shipments also on hold while Ford investigates an undisclosed issue, but sales continue.

In Mustang Mach-E models later this year and some F-150 Lightning versions next year, Ford will shift to prismatic LFP cells that may be a better fit for customers' daily use.

The project with China's CATL may create roughly 2,500 jobs and draw at least a $2.5 billion investment

Ford is working on next-generation EVs with a focus on simplicity, leaner manufacturing, and producing them in the millions.

As before, none of the Mustang Mach-E models with the Extended Range battery pack will qualify for the revamped federal EV tax credit.

In a proposed and patented charging connector, Ford would use a magnetic system to help align physical charge pins precisely.
