Guess im never buying a Ford. Shame, because I was a fan as a kid.
Edit: I owned a Ford Taurus as my first car years and years ago. It had problems, but it was a comfortable ride. I liked fastback mustangs as a kid. As an adult I hoped that they could one day make sense as a purchase. My next car will almost certainly be electric.
I mean it's Trump that removed their entire market. People don't buy EVs unless there's legislative pressure being built on ICE emissions.
Not that Ford couldn't have handled this with more grace of course... But I honestly doubt they were happy about the idea of building an entire plant and then shutting it down
To me it's more about commitment that charging infrastructure will be there tomorrow. I know it's fine in some cities and suburban areas already, but anywhere Ruralish charging availability is a crapshoot so you range anxiety is a real problem. If you know the government is forcing EVs to be the future, some of that anxiety goes away as you know they will have to build more charge infrastructure.
Definitely part of it IMO
