Ford Boosts EV Production with $11.4 Billion Investment, Creating 11,000 Jobs
Ford is making a significant investment of $11.4 billion in two manufacturing sites to boost its electric cars production. This move is expected to create 11,000 new jobs and contribute to Ford's goal of generating at least 40% of its global cars sales from EVs by 2030.
Currently, the U.S. has around 46,000 electric charging stations, compared to approximately 150,000 gas stations. However, the landscape is changing rapidly. General Motors has announced plans to produce only electric cars by 2035, indicating a shift in the automotive industry.
For those interested in learning more about EVs, resources like the International Energy Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offer valuable information.
Electric cars come with different charging levels. The fastest, known as Tesla Superchargers, can add up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes. However, they are currently limited for use by Tesla cars.
In response to the growing demand for electric cars charging, gas station operators are expanding their electric charging infrastructure. They are integrating fast-charging stations at existing fuel sites, aiming to provide convenient and speedy charging services to compete with other locations.
Ford's investment in electric cars production and the initiatives by gas station operators to expand charging infrastructure reflect the increasing popularity and importance of electric cars in the U.S. market.
