To accommodate the production of the Project T3 electric pickup and other electric vehicles, Ford is developing the Blue Oval City mega-campus. Once fully operational, this facility is expected to have the capacity to manufacture an astounding 500,000 electric pickups annually, surpassing Ford’s current production estimates for the F-150 Lightning.
With the introduction of the F-200 electric pickup and the Blue Oval City mega-campus, Ford is poised to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle market.
