    Ford Canada, Unifor reach tentative deal that includes $2B in EV contracts

    Ford Canada, Unifor reach tentative deal that includes $2B in EV contracts

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/ford-canada-unifor-reach-tentative-deal-that-includes-2b-in-ev-contracts-1.5114681 https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/ford-canada-unifor-reach-tentative-deal-that-includes-2b-in-ev-contracts-1.5114681

    "Under the proposed settlement, Unifor national president Jerry Dias said $1.95 billion will be invested in Ford's Canadian plants, including $1.8 billion toward the production of five electric vehicles in Oakville, Ont., and an engine contract that could yield new jobs in Windsor, Ont."


    But I am sure someone will tell us those aren't real jobs in Ontario. All the jobs are going to Michigan right! LOL

      Anybody thinking about an all electric F150 in 2022? Lots of power and range. I am sure it won't be cheap but when did farmers care about the cost of shiny new pickups! You gotta impress the neighbors right! LOL

          Will be interested in a good used one maybe buy 2024 or 2025 for half price of new and a little dinged up . Will see after a few years how they hold up through a Canadian winter or two .

          My current 2011 F350 with 240,000 km with rust and dents may need replacing by then . Be tough to replace that diesel power though .... time will tell .

              No electric vehicles will ever be made in Canada or even driven in Canada unless we double our grid capacity in a hurry and add some nukes. NEVER HAPPEN.

                          Jazz can you read? Duh! We already have many electric vehicles. Petro Canada has a country wide charging charging system. It will be a long transition but its already here! Ford is just adding new capacity!

                          I will happily use some of my 35000 kwh solar per year to charge up! Don't need an upgrade at my house. If I do I can always add more panels. Most vehicles sit doing nothing all day at work or at home.

                              A4 has lead the way. I am more cautious and want to see how they workout first.

                              I am still using an outhouse and a partyline! LOL
