The head of the Board of Directors of Blue Oval, Bill Ford said that batteries for electric vehicles are at risk if the US Congress reduces subsidies for transport to new energy sources. The plant in Michigan will suffer, on which it is planned to employ 1700 workers. “It is unfair to change the policy after all expenses are made,” Ford said.
The Trump administration intends to cancel the “green” benefits of the predecessor, Joe Bayden, and the standards of fuel savings have already seriously softened. However, Bill Ford does not agree with the position of Republicans. “Politicians can agree or disagree with whether these things are desirable. But do not change the rules when investments have already been made. ”

The Chairman of the Ford Board emphasized that for him the issue of continuing support for electric vehicles is not a matter of politics, but a matter of justice. Changing the rules of the game is unfair, Bill Ford believes. Interestingly, direct competitors are in solidarity in the issue of tax benefits for electric cars: six months ago, General Motors, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen expressed similar thoughts!
The Ford concern can suffer not only because of the change in the vector of the policy of the US Presidential Administration, but also because of the strengthening of the confrontation with China. The Blue Oval planned to buy a license from Catl for the production of inexpensive lithium-ion cells, but the battery manufacturer fell under the sanctions of the US Ministry of Defense.
