BlueOval City is a $5.6 billion 3,600 acre campus with the sole purpose of making EVs for Ford. The automaker plans to hire 6,000 people to work at the plant and is dumping millions of dollars into local STEM education programs in Tennessee. In addition to all the new jobs, Ford says that the plant will be powered by carbon-neutral electricity by day one. Additionally, by 2035, Ford hopes to run all of its factories with carbon-free electricity.
In other Ford EV assembly plants, production is often slowed simply by the fact it takes the SK-manufactured batteries time to get to the plant. This is not the case with BlueOval as it will have an onsite SK battery manufacturing facility. As of now, Ford is remaining quiet on what the truck will look like and even the production-ready name. However, the automaker has said that its fully operational truck plant should be capable of churning out 500,000 EV trucks a year.
