Ford Could Separate It’s EV Business from Gas Engine Operation

Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow joins Emily Chang to discuss Ford’s possible plans to separate its electric-vehicle operation from its century-old legacy business, hoping to earn the sort of investor respect enjoyed by Tesla and other pure-play EV makers. Nothing has been settled yet, but it’s under discussion Ludlow says. He’s on “Bloomberg Technology.”

    Obvious. Duh. EVs will cannibalize their ICEs and their managers will be highly incentivized to nuke it for the sake of their books. Spinning it off is the only way to allow the EV dept to have a chance to actually grow and compete with their own traditional ICEs. Unfortunately, they should have done this 10 years ago, when Tesla was only ~5 years ahead of them. Now they’re 15 years behind. So… good luck, but, uhh, yeah, ya’ll ain’t gettin’ me to take that moronic capital risk with my money. Sorry. I’ll just buy more TSLA (and a Tesla), not Ford.

    Million dollar question?$?$ How do I buy into the electric side and wow what a way to get rid of a 100 billion+ dollar stranded asset issue of pensions, health care obligations and old plant and equipment. Unions are not going to like this!!!!

    Why wasn’t this announced during earnings? My calls would have benefited from this information.

    Interesting video!! As always, businesses/lnvestments are the easiest way to financial stability, success without being dependent on anyone..I don’t know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money in the bank. Learn some new skills and lnvest your money if you want financial freedom.

      Been reading through the comments and when he said Carl Davis I knew he was right! I have the best lnvesting help from Mr Carl. He’s friendly and easy to get along with in terms of lnvesting tips. It was a life changing lnvestment I was able to pay off my mortgage 😭😭

      Holy sh*t!! I’ve known Sir Carl Davis for ages, He is so wonderful and sincere, my dealings with him keeps running smoothly and swiftly without controversies. I have worked with 4 traders in the past but none is as efficient and intelligent as he is. I’m currently mining my ETH with his strategy and it’s really awesome 👍

    could the EV product avoid dealerships?

    Interesting, they probably could cut out the dealerships and sell direct to customers.

    Ford literally pays someone
    To release
    And re release “goals” every week so they stay relevant

    Ford should pay off debt first before investing more into the company. The more debt that gets paid off in the long run, you’ll be able to invest in the company later on. You have to be patient and make the best of it and what comes next.

      Pay debt first, then invest if you can, but debt paid off first is less stress.
