Ford will migrate future EVs to a new low-cost Universal EV Platform, launching a mid-size electric pickup in 2027 at Louisville Assembly. The firm projects hybrids, EREVs and BEVs to rise from 17% to roughly 50% of global sales by 2030. The next-generation F-150 Lightning switches from BEV to range-extender architecture, while larger pickups and SUVs gain EREV options and Ford expands commercial-vehicle and battery-energy-storage investments.
