Ford's Fathom EV prototype builds start in early 2027
Ford's commitment to its electric future is taking shape on the factory floor, with the $2 billion overhaul of its plant on track to support the Fathom EV truck. Prototype builds are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, a timeline that signals steady, deliberate progress rather than empty promises.
Ford's $28,350 electric truck arrives fall 2027, design coming early next year
Ford just gave the electric truck market a jolt: its new Fathom model will start at $28,350, arriving in fall 2027. That's a striking price point, though Ford is staying coy, keeping Fathom's design under wraps until early next year. We appreciate the patience, but we're eager to see what they're building. This launch lands as other players like Tesla push their own electric trucking ambitions forward. For a deeper look at that competitive push, check out our piece on Tesla Semi's production ramp-up.
Ford maps a smarter drive with Apple navigation built right in
Ford is putting Apple at the center of its next-generation EV cockpit, becoming the first automaker to embed Apple Maps directly into its infotainment system. That is a smart bet on familiarity over fragmented ecosystems. Drivers already trust Apple's navigation, so bringing it into the car feels less like a learning curve and more like a natural extension. It also signals that legacy automakers are serious about software partnerships, not just hardware specs.
