Ford will cut up to 1000 jobs at its electric car factory in Cologne, Germany, in response to lower than expected EV demand across Europe.
The former home of the Fiesta, which builds the Explorer and Capri crossovers following a $1 billion revamp, is operating far below its capacity.

I suspect that it's not weak EV demand per se, but that Ford are building EV's that arnt very good whilst charging a premium for them. Both the Explorer and Capri are way over priced. An Explorer is about the same size as the mechanically identical Skoda Ellroq but lists at around £10k more for similar specs and a well specced Capri lists more than the recently launched and state of the Arry BMW iX3. Madness! I'm surprised they're able to sell any at all
State of the art!
I can see a day when these Fords are built at a VW plant, may as well seeing as they are on the same platform
