Ford has announced it is investing an additional $4.5 billion in electrified vehicle solutions over the next five years. The automaker says it is adding 13 new electrified vehicles to its portfolio by 2020, when more than 40% of the company’s global nameplates will come in electrified versions.
On the way next year is a new Focus Electric, which features all-new DC fast-charge capability delivering an 80% charge in an estimated 30 minutes and projected 100-mile range – an estimated two hours faster than today’s Focus Electric, according to Ford.
The company says its shift to add electrified vehicle solutions answers increasing global trends calling for cleaner, more efficient vehicles.
