Ford Aims for Revolution with $30k Electric Truck


Ford is promising a mid-sized EV pickup by 2027 with a budget price, made possible by new manufacturing techniques.

The only other hard detail we have on the upcoming EV truck itself is that Ford is targeting the current-gen Toyota RAV4 for interior volume, and the 0-60 time of an EcoBoost Mustang(4.5 seconds). Assuming that particular toy was chosen on purpose, that might indicate Ford is planning some kind of Chevy Avalanche-style cargo pass-through that integrates the cab with the bed for storage efficiency. But there was one more line Golhotra trotted out that I found interesting: “The cost of owning a universal Ford EV is expected to be lower than if you went out and bought a three-year-old Tesla Model Y.”
