CEO of Ford Jim Farley has revealed that the company developed a “skunkworks” lab two years ago – a start-up separate from the Ford mothership, which is aimed at producing electric vehicles at affordable prices. The lab’s team is being led by Alan Clarke, executive director of advanced EV development at Ford.

 

In 2023, Ford reported a loss of $1.6 billion and announced that it would reduce its expenditure on EVs, so it could fulfil customers’ needs in a better way. However, the current news of Ford’s experimentations with low-cost EVs suggests that the company is still adamant on competing with Tesla and other EV automakers like BYD.

Are Vegan-Friendly Cars a Possibility?

Thinking in green and animal-friendly is the need of the hour. We are living in a time where environmental issues are at an all-time high, and animals' rights are being violated in unimaginable ways. You may have heard a lot about vegan food, but what exactly is a vegan-friendly car? 

We can cut back on a lot that we produce and even reduce mass consumption and production in order to save the planet and other creatures, but we hardly do anything about cars yet. Environment-friendly cars are in the making, but they are not common and when they do appear, their expensive prices would not be affordable for most of the crowd that looks forward to contributing to the planet.

A guide to save your car from overheating

Global Statistics: Manufacturing and Sales of Electric Vehicles

The vehicles we own right now undoubtedly perform well, but there are a few disadvantages that they bring to the table. And since we are living in a technologically influenced era, the need for an advanced form of vehicle gradually emerged. So what is the hype of electric vehicles all about?

Traditional vehicles emit a lot of smoke, which is causing immense damage to our environment every minute. Moreover, this impact is only expected to grow in the next few years, if we consider the rate at which the world population is growing. Also, since electric vehicles don't require gas, there's the possibility of a significant amount of savings. But even despite those savings, another viewpoint is that even electricity doesn't come free.

The Adoption of Electric Vehicles

Transportation has come a long way and when we really think of it, there's a long history behind it too. There used to be a time when the only way to get from one point to another was via horses or other animals, or in the case of no animals, it was by foot. Let's first take a sneak peek inside the history of transportation.

But we can think of the invention of the wheel as the ultimate turning point. As per archaeological evidence, the wheel has known to be invented by Mesopotamia for the purpose of making pottery. But like everything, the wheel's purpose saw variation and reinvention over time. For instance, we have chariots in the records all the way from the times of the ancient Greek civilisation. So the tyres we have today have reached to us thanks to the experiments and inventions of our great ancestors.
