With the onset of banning internal combustion engines Ford has just invested $500million in Rivian to use their BEV skateboard battery platform to put their bodies on.


They were in talks with VW to use their MEB skateboard platform too.



All the big auto makers have pitched tents in China and are making numerous models there in partnership with the big Chinese manufacturers, It looks like it's the only place they well be profitable making vehicles especially BEV's. I read BMW are building factories in Thailand to build their EV's which seems to be the new China as well as India nowadays.


Doesn't bode well for European manufacturers are more than half will be redundant within the next decade
