Not surprised.

They pulled back out of the EU and other markets like South America and BYD opened up an assembly plant in Brazil.

Turn back the clock and Ford ruled the EU with saloons like the Escort, Mondeo and later the Focus - they were caught unawares with shift to compact SUV's and had the popular Ecosport but never invested in the product line and it was left to wither and die.

They are teaming up with Renault to use their EV platform to maintain a token presence in the EU but consumers today are smarter and more informed and will not buy badge engineered Fords.

Why did they throw away the Soybean/Hemp car patent, in the 1940s?

Were they corrupted by oil and war to sell it?

Solid state batteries solve for EV trucks.

The Chevy Silverado EV truck wins at towing but not being towed, FWIU.

They could have won with a bad EV platform to have just used the existing F-150 part streams.

Did GM intentionally or accidentally squander EVs with the EV1?

How could firms encourage EV conversions of trucks in order to get this solved?

Consider that a car made of plastic is something that only works pre-Ralph Nader. Now the NTSB would veto it in milliseconds.

How did IRC ping timeouts end up in a lawsuit?
