    To boost its electric vehicle (EV) production, Ford is investing $850 million in its Flat Rock, Michigan, assembly plant. It hopes to make the plant the home of its EV production. To do so, the company will also hire 900 employees incrementally through 2023. This investment is part of Ford's $11.1 billion commitment to electric vehicles, and it includes funding to build Ford's next-generation Mustang in Michigan.

    In addition to its EV plans, Ford also announced it will complete its first autonomous vehicles in southeast Michigan--they'll be available in 2021. In the meantime, the company says, it has an all-electric performance SUV coming from its Cuautitlan, Mexico, plant in 2020. It will also build its next-gen North American Transit Connect -- a small van -- in Mexico beginning in 2021.


    I know many are counting Ford out, and as I have always said it could be a day late and dollar short, but at least they are making the right noises.
