Ford Motor Company Announces Major Restructuring of EV Business

Details

The company decided to cancel three planned EVs and end production of the current generation F-150 Lightning EV due to lower-than-anticipated EV adoption rates and market challenges. As a result, Ford expects to recognize a pre-tax charge of about $12.5 billion in 2025 and 2026. Additionally, Ford entered into a Joint Venture Disposition Agreement, resulting in expected pre-tax charges of about $3 billion, primarily related to assumed debt of the Kentucky plants. These charges will be recognized as special items and are not expected to result in cash expenditures.
