There's no firm timeline, but Ford is 'working toward' selling only EVs in the U.S.

[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16625338, member: 116684"] I'm skeptical about that, at least from a mandate perspective. The EPA is in the driver's seat, and we all know how gung ho they are on EV. Not even a Trump presidency and R controlled legislature could steer them away from their greenhouse emissions regulations. They're going to make us go EV, whether we like it or not, and more concerning, whether we're prepared or not. I would anticipate a ban on new ICE cars first, then they whittle away what's left through registration restrictions and/or taxes. Ford seems to be highly cyclical. The SVT phase was great, then they came back strong with the ST phase. The question becomes if we're still in the trough or if the Bronco and Mach E are as good as it's going to get on this peak. That's what the green new deal is all about! Solar panels on every roof and a charger on everything! I've said it before, but from a long term investment strategy they're being smart- they're preparing for an appliance future, based on a subscription autonomous EV model. It's where we're headed. But it's not coming to fruition as fast as they expected, and not only are they showing their weakness in the interim, but their capabilities for that future seem to be lagging behind some competitors. It would be fine to let their competition eat their lunch today if they knew they would blow them out of the water tomorrow, but it's increasingly looking like that may not be the case. Instead we get "Uhh, here's an EV CUV with a pony on it." [/QUOTE]
