Ford Completes $2 Billion EV Factory Retooling For The $28,000 Fathom Truck In Under A Year

Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky made gas-powered cars for more than 70 years.

Now it has been converted to make fully electric models only, starting with the Fathom next year.

Retooling is a massive undertaking which Ford finished in less than a year.

Ford’s slow drip of new information about the $30,000 Fathom electric truck continues with yet another update.

The Dearborn automaker said Thursday that its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky has completed a $2 billion retooling for the Fathom's production. The massive undertaking took less than a year after the plant stopped building the Escape and Lincoln Corsair. Ford shared a lot of numbers to convey the scale of the project—numbers that probably won’t make much difference in your life. But in case you’re interested in knowing, we’ll share them anyway.
