Ford starts the hard work of
EV battery, raw-materials security
As it accelerates its shift to vehicle electrification, Ford confirmed
in July that it has sourced the bulk of battery manufacturing
capacity the company needs to meet its 2-millionA
rendering of Hyundai's STIL, which is slated to be operational in the
fall of 2023.
consent-order agreement with Hyundai - relating to hesitant
recalls for more than 1.6 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles
equipped with Theta II 4-cylinder engines that demonstrated
propensity to catch fire - dictated a $25-million investment
in a safety facility. Hyundai is doubling the investment to
more than $50 million for the STIL. Robb noted that the facility
will represent another step forward for Hyundai's mobility
vision. " We want to look at not only making it easier for customers
to go from point A to point B, but we want to make
that journey safer, " he said.

plus global EV production target for 2026. It also confirmed
" direct-sourcing " some crucial battery raw materials in strategically
amendable locations that include the U.S., Australia
and Indonesia.
In a significant supporting play to its materials-sourcing
actions, Ford also announced it will begin offering lithium-iron
phosphate (LFP) batteries in addition to their standard lithium-ion,
nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) chemistry for the
Mustang Mach-E and new F-150 Lightning (which is slated to
make a big jump to production of 150,000 units for 2023).
The Mach-E reportedly will offer LFP batteries by sometime in
2023 and the F-150 Lightning by early 2024.
Ford's LFP battery cells - which are less energy-dense that
the NCM chemistry and thus are projected to offer a reduction
in driving range that Ford describes it as " minimal " - will be
manufactured by Contemporary Amperex Technology
(CATL). Ford said CATL will install 40 GWh of LFP production
