Fords electric cars for Europe will be rebadged VW’s, built on the same assembly lines as VW product. The first sign of this tie-up was the new Ford Connect, which is a VW Caddy. That will continue, at least for the next generation anyway. After that, who knows, it depends on what they decide to do in Europe and, more importantly in China.
I read this morning that BMW’s electric Mini’s will move production from Oxford to China, leaving Oxford with ICE cars. I expect that will continue to 2030 then be quietly closed or whittled down to the niche models like the convertible.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
