Ford said Monday that instead of scuttling plans to build the batteries for those vehicles, it will pivot that capacity into a new battery storage business. Those storage systems, which will use cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries, will be used to power data centers and help buffer demand on the electric grid.
Those storage systems, which will use cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries, will be used to power data centers and help buffer demand on the electric grid. Ford says the battery storage systems will start shipping in 2027 and that the company plans to build 20GWh of annual capacity.
This venture highlights the company’s strategy to extend its influence and capabilities beyond traditional automotive manufacturing. Anticipated to begin operations in Q1 2025, this facility will reinforce Tesla’s role in the global energy storage market.
Ford says the battery storage systems will start shipping in 2027 and that the company plans to build 20GWh of annual capacity. Ford will invest about $2 billion into the new business over the next two years. Under the plan, Ford will repurpose the existing manufacturing capacity at its Kentucky factory.
