Not really a Ranger Topic, but interesting as it relates to Ford and the EV market.
KEY POINTS
Ford asks dealers to invest in EVs as it chases Tesla-like profit
Only asking for upfront investments of $500,000 or $1.2 million - depending on the 'tier' they want to be recognized at.
KEY POINTS
- Ford CEO Jim Farley wants Ford dealers to become the most valuable franchise in the industry, as the company plans to grow sales across its traditional and EV businesses.
- The automaker is asking its nearly 3,000 dealers to invest upward of $1 million for upgrades to sell all-electric vehicles.
- Ford, unlike crosstown rival General Motors, is allowing dealers to opt out of selling EVs and continue to sell the company’s cars.
