With Ford ramping up toward a fully electric lineup, battery production takes on a new level of priority. The automaker is meeting those needs with the newly announced Ford Ion Park, a global battery center that will focus on research and development to help scale needs to meet demand. Ford plans to open the new facility toward the end of 2022.
“We’re already scaling production of all-electric vehicles around the world as more customers experience and crave the fun-to-drive benefits of electric vehicles with zero emissions,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford’s chief product platform and operations officer. “Investing in more battery R&D ultimately will help us speed the process to deliver more, even better, lower-cost EVs for customers over time.”
