Ford cancels all-electric three-row SUV plans, shifts focus to hybrid vehicles and affordable electric pickup trucks and commercial vans in response to slower-than-expected demand for electric cars and competition from lower-cost Chinese options. The company will prioritize a new electric commercial van for 2026, and delay the production of its next-generation electric pickup truck in Tennessee to 2027. Ford will also focus on lower EV prices and longer battery ranges, with a new, highly efficient EV platform enabling more economic production and lower prices for several vehicles. The automaker will continue to develop electric vehicles, with an electric commercial van set for release in 2026 and electric pickup trucks planned for the second half of 2027.
