Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I would not be surprised if Ford shrinks and becomes American-only, as the new admin pushes more gasoline and oil and reduces overall EV incentives.
They'll subsist on gigantic-truck sales, maybe get a bailout from the sympathetic government, and maybe bide their time until they get a Democrat willing to subsidize and incentivize their transition to EVs in the future. If they're truly toast, it will be a very slow death, and a lot can change even in four years (for better or worse).
That's a crazy prospect given how huge Ford are or at least were in the UK growing up.
