Ford Targets Tesla Model 2, MG4, and BYD Dolphin with New Small Electric Car Line-Up
Ford is set to launch a new line-up of small electric cars to take on the likes of the Tesla Model 2, MG4, and BYD Dolphin.
The new models will be based on the company's MEB platform, which is also used by the Volkswagen ID.3 and Skoda Enyaq iV.
Ford has not yet released any details about the new models, but they are expected to be offered with a range of battery sizes and power outputs.
The smallest model in the range is likely to be a rival to the Tesla Model 2, which is expected to be launched in 2024.
The next model up will be a rival to the MG4, which is currently on sale in Australia.
The largest model in the range will be a rival to the BYD Dolphin, which is also expected to be launched in Australia in 2024.
Ford is expected to release more details about the new models in the coming months.
The launch of the new models will be a major step forward for Ford's electrification plans. The company has pledged to invest $30 billion in electric vehicles by 2025.
Ford is one of the few major automakers that does not currently offer a dedicated electric car. The company's only electric vehicle is the Mustang Mach-E, which is a crossover SUV.
The new models will give Ford a more complete range of electric vehicles to offer customers.
The launch of the new models is also expected to help Ford compete with Tesla, which is the current leader in the electric car market.
Tesla has a number of small electric cars in its line-up, including the Model 3 and Model Y.
Ford is hoping that its new models will offer customers a more affordable and practical alternative to Tesla's offerings.
The new models are expected to be priced from around $30,000. This will make them significantly cheaper than the Tesla Model 3, which starts at $46,990.
The new models are also expected to have a longer range than the Tesla Model 3. The Tesla Model 3 has a range of up to 547 kilometers, while the new Ford models are expected to have a range of up to 600 kilometers.
Ford is hoping that the new models will help it to increase its market share in the electric car market. The company has a target of selling 2 million electric vehicles per year by 2026.
The launch of the new models is a major step forward for Ford's electrification plans. The company is hoping that the new models will help it to compete with Tesla and other leading electric car makers.
