Ford have said they plan to release three new electric vehicles including a new Puma by 2024. This all part of Fords plan to hit net zero by 2035 with them only selling EV’s.

The company wants to make two cars to fit between the Puma and the Mustang Mach-E which they’ve named as a Medium-size Crossover and the Sports Crossover. These will be based off the VW MEB electric platform.

Ford will also be releasing a line of electric transits with three of them being in a van conversion and another smaller two as a Tourneo people-carrier.

They expect to sell 600,000 EV’s annually by 2026 with 1.2 million made in Cologne over six years. This has resulted in an additional investment of £1.5bn in developing the facility.

To keep on top of targets Ford has also announced a joint venture with SK On and Koc Holding to make a battery plant in Turkey with the expectation that it will be one of the largest vehicle production facilities in Europe.

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine oil is at the highest it’s been for 14 years. This is all down to the fact that Russia is the second largest oil producer and supplies about a third of Europe’s needs.

The US has already proposed sanctions on Russian oil and gas but many European countries including the UK have stated that this is not possible, and it is something that could cause major global economic issues. However, the search for a new producer has begun if things with Russia do continue to get worse but both the Prime Minister of Netherlands and the CEO of Portland Fuel have suggested things won’t happen fast.

Is this the best time to start investing in greener energy and electric vehicles and should governments be doing more to support those wanting to make that change?

Britishvolt, created in 2019 and based in the West Midlands is a company set out to build sustainable low-carbon batteries

Orral Nadjari is the CEO and founder of Britishvolt and former investment banker. Having already secured 1.7 billion pounds for the government backed gigafactory they're now opening series C of their fundraise with Glencore investing 40 million pounds.

The Blyth based gigafactory is set to cost around 4 billion pounds and be able to build enough cells to supply 300,000 battery packs for the automotive industry each year by 2028.

What are your thoughts on this new company and do you think it could become an industry leader?

Aston Martin have a launched a new deal with Britishvolt to develop new batteries for their upcoming electric cars.

The Gaydon based company has set out plans to launch a mid engined plug in hybrid by 2024 and a fully electric vehicle for 2025. AM currently uses engines supplied by Mercedes and has said that the new partnership with Britishvolt is in line with its current Mercedes agreement

Another British car maker Lotus has also made an agreement with Britishvolt to supply batteries for their new supercars with plans for 2026.

Could we see the likes of Mclaren and other British car manufacturers going the same way for the future?

I’d like to introduce you to the Bisimoto Engineering E935 EV. Originally starting life as a 1984 Porsche 911 SC this car was given a widebody kit using moulds from a 935 K3 before its engine was replaced with a motor from the Tesla Model S which has been tuned to produce 475kw equating to 636hp. That’s 0 – 60 in 2 seconds. Documentary film maker and car enthusiast Larry Chen while filming a video on this car quoted "It's not the future, It's the present".
