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.
