.@Ford lost $34,000 on every EV sold in 2022.
Now the losses are resulting in mass layoffs.
EVs and the taxpayer-subsidized industrial policy that mandates them is an unmitigated disaster. @pwrhungry https://t.co/VlxK2OsHnI

Ford plans to lay off 1,000 of its 28,000 salaried employees in North America.
It fired around 3,000 workers in America last year, followed by 3,800 workers in Europe as well.

Ford expects to lose $3 BILLION in operating profits on its EVs this year alone.
It’s also lost billions from an investment in EV company Rivian.
The miracle of the green revolution! Makes money disappear faster than gasoline!

The automaker is looking at borrowing a ton of cash from the government, but even the woke printing machine can’t put out this dumpster fire.
Ford predicts profitability in its EV business after 2030? That is if they are still in business…
No wonder Toyota is not taking the same strategy. They don’t have Uncle Sam to bail them out.

Meanwhile, the company is facing a strike from its union workers and is starting negotiations with United Auto Workers.
