Ford Admits $30,000 Fathom Truck Will Take 'Heck Of An Effort'
Original: Ford Says Its $30,000 Fathom Truck Will Require One 'Heck Of An Effort'
Ford has floated a $30,000 electric pickup, reportedly called the Fathom, as a centerpiece of its affordable EV strategy, but executives caution it will require one 'heck of an effort' to bring to market. The comments underscore the engineering and cost challenges of producing a small, cheap electric truck profitably, and they are fueling debate over whether Ford can hit the price target without heavy compromises.
Why now: Ford's candid acknowledgment of the difficulty of building an affordable electric pickup is drawing attention amid skepticism about cheap EVs.
