I saw somewhere that Ford could only produce 50,000 Mach E's the first year due to battery constraints. I am sure that the truck will need many more.
Probably triple. But they may be available from northern European and Chinese sources. Both regions are building huge capacity in batteries. Tesla is increasing capacity by 70 percent in North America but some of that will go to the semi. More announcements will be made on Tesla’s Battery day which should be in the next 4 to 6 weeks. The thing with Tesla is some of that capacity goes to their grid storage projects and power walls, that and half a million cars a year not including Tesla China.
I suspect at some point Ford will build a battery factory...somewhere.
