DETROIT โ Ford plans to add 350 jobs at two factories to meet expected demand for electric vehicles that haven't gone on sale yet.
The company says these are early investments in the first phase of its plan to build more electric vehicles.
In addition to the Kansas City and Michigan plants, Ford will build electric vehicles and components in Oakville, Ontario, and Cuautitlan, Mexico, the company said.
โThis is just the first chapter with more new electric vehicles and more investment to come,โ Galhotra said.
Last year, automakers sold just over 236,000 fully electric vehicles, up 36% from 2018.
