福特的EV聚氨酯sh Will Kill Off Another 3 Models

Ford's foray into EVs is accelerating at a steady rate, and with so many new products planned,Automotive Newsreports that three gas-powered vehicles will be killed off. Among these is theFord Transit Connectvan, which is no surprise given the popularity of the larger and all-electric E-Transit that wasintroduced in 2020. If an electric powertrain works great on a big van, why would it not work just as well on a small one? Killing off the gas-powered model makes sense.

Also said to be heading to the scrap heap in the sky is theFord Edge. The reason is that the facility in which it is built - the Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario - will be converted to an EV production unit.

The third and final model to be killed off is the Ford Escape. This model is available as aplug-in hybrid or a mild-hybridpowertrain, but despite this variety and despite the fact that it was刷新去年, it won't be around much longer, partly because theBronco Sporthas been immensely popular among buyers. The Blue Oval is expected to end production of the Escape in 2025 to make way for a new electric crossover that will take its place.

An EV the size of theExploreris also expected to be introduced at some point after production begins in 2025, but we don't yet know if it will retain the name. In Europe, an electric Ford Explorer is now available, sharing underpinnings with VW's ID.4, but this is unlikely to come stateside.
