Ford Focus Electric

Ford is officially shifting gears to focus on smaller, more affordable electric cars. CEO Jim Farley emphasized Ford’s (not-so-secret) low-cost EV platform is progressing in Long Beach as former Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Apple execs aim to develop some of the world’s most efficient electric cars. With a focus on affordability, Ford’s EV platform opens the door for electric Focus and Fiesta successors.

Ford is laying off some 3,500 workers in Germany as the automaker ends the production of the Focus – the once crazily popular car that never managed to get off the ground with its electric version – in 2025.

Ford has announced a significant recall for the charging cables that it delivered with 50,000 of its electric vehicles sold between 2011 and 2015.

The automaker says that there’s an overheating risk that could lead to a fire.
