Ford is a bellwether: Electric vehicles are coming, despite Trump. Trump doesn’t spell the end of the EV revolution in Detroit, which has invested decades and hundreds of billions of dollars in developing EVs, batteries, and their supply chains. “We’re committed to electrification.”

  1. Ford has on and off romance with electrics. Despite building giant factories for EVs and battery. It’s confusing to say the least. At least hire a competent PR team who can keep it straight.

  2. It’s always nice to see reality acknowledged. He has done absolutely nothing that would stop the transition to EVs. What he HAS done is make it less likely that the US will be making cars at all beyond the next few years.

  3. They know Trump won’t be around forever, and that if they want to compete in the future this transition is necessary. 

  4. EV/PHEV registrations stopped growing this past month in my state. Statewide total dropped by ten cars.

    I’m not a doubter and I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer here. But Trump’s policies are having an effect, and that will need to be dealt with. I for one don’t see myself going back to gasoline ever again.

  5. Do makers of EVs bump up their advertising when there’s a jump in petrol prices?
