Ford's truck future may be electrified, but not all electric. Representatives for the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker, including CEO Jim Farley, expressed interest in EREV, or Extended Range Electric Vehicle, technology at Ford 's "Model T moment" event in Louisville, Kentucky, yesterday.

Despite the impending loss of federal rebates, Ford plans to give US EV production a huge boost. After hyping it last week as a "breakthrough" and "Model T moment," the company has announced a new Universal EV Platform to be shared by a new family of products.
