Never happen.

thats why I started with "IF". I see three major hurdles.

1. no one makes anything cheap
2. its EV
3. lastly and most importantly, its Ford.

This Electric SUV set a World Record for Longest Journey On A Single Charge... here's how far it went​

A new world record has been set for the longest journey by an electric SUV on a single charge.

A new Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor was driven 581.3 miles on UK roads, 143 miles more than a single charge should take it.

And the unmodified, large SUV's real-world journey – which took 22 hours and 57 minutes – has been officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Driven by professional efficiency drivers Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker and Richard Parker, the Polestar 3 - which starts from just shy of £70,000 - achieved its WLTP figure of 438 miles with 20 per cent of its battery capacity still available.

It even delivered eight further miles after showing 0 per cent battery - but the Polestar 3 reached a charger before ultimately stopping.

Polestar, based in Sweden, is principally owned by Chinese automotive baron Li Shufu, while a stake is also held by Volvo.

Big whoop. They crept along at less than 25 m.p.h. May as well have been a horse and wagon.

EV Gravy Train Dries Up: Rivian Announces Layoffs as Tax Credits Expire​

EV maker Rivian has announced a lay off as the company prepares for the end of federal EV tax credits and a challenging economic landscape. The company beat Elon Musk’s Tesla in bringing an EV pickup truck to the market, but has yet to prove it can succeed without massive taxpayer help.

The LA Times reports that Rivian, the electric truck and SUV manufacturer based in Irvine, California, has recently announced the layoff of about 200 employees, equivalent to 1.5 percent of its total workforce of nearly 15,000. The company’s decision comes as it braces for the expiration of federal EV tax credits at the end of the month, a move that is expected to dampen demand for electric vehicles across the industry.

Under President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, the $7,500 tax credit for new EVs and the credit of up to $4,000 for used EVs are set to end, reversing Biden-era efforts to make EVs more attractive to Americans, who have not embraced the technology in favor of traditional gas vehicles. This abrupt policy change has prompted several automakers, including General Motors and Volkswagen, to cut jobs and slow production in anticipation of reduced consumer interest in EVs.
