While delaying two major EVs, Ford hints at a surprising new electric truck and the return of a forgotten nameplate

Ford's EV future is taking shape in Long Beach, California, with a new EV Development Center. Led by ex-Tesla engineer Alan Clarke, the team is creating a modular platform for a 2027 midsize electric pickup. Their goal: a $25,000 competitive EV leveraging collaborative engineering.

Last year, the company scrapped plans for a three-row electric SUV, with Farley later stating that larger EV models are not the company’s primary focus as it develops future battery-powered vehicles. Ford is laying out plans for some of its upcoming EV models and technology August 11 at an event in Kentucky, Farley said.
