Detroit Focuses On Driving Down EV Prices

Current Climate brings you the latest news about the business of sustainability every Monday. Sign up to get it in your inbox. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved F ord's $5 billion plan to get cheaper electric vehicles on the road by 2027 is intriguing not simply because it's happening as the Trump Administration works to hamper the EV industry's growth, but because it signals both it and General Motors, which make most of their money selling big gasoline-powered pickups and SUVs, seem to be getting serious about competing with Tesla and Chinese automakers that threaten their long-term health. There aren't a lot of specifics yet about Ford's $30,000 electric pickup that's due in a couple of years, but its new low-cost manufacturing process and a cheaper lithium-iron phosphate, or LFP, battery could help the company that standardized assembly-line production over a century ago become a key player as the global auto industry rapidly electrifies. GM, which has seen strong sales of its newest electric models this year, including the $35,000 Equinox SUV, is also introducing a restyled Bolt crossover this year that's likely to sell for about $30,000. That could be compelling to many carbuyers since the average new EV sold in the U.S. currently goes for $55,689, while the overall new car or light truck average transaction price is $48,841, according to Kelley Blue Book. Like Ford, GM plans to use new, cheaper battery chemistries, including LFP cells as well as a new lithium-manganese battery due in 2028, and has committed billions of dollars to electrifying its lineup. Both carmakers may be tempted to slow those efforts now that Trump has killed off federal EV rebates and manufacturing incentives. Weakened federal fuel-efficiency rules might entice them into relying more on gasoline-powered trucks, but doing so would threaten their sales outside the U.S., as low-cost Chinese EVs, particularly those from BYD, rapidly take market share from gasoline-powered models in Europe, South America and Oceania. And after a decade of EV dominance in the U.S. by Tesla, Elon Musk's fading popularity has done substantial damage to that brand, creating a new opportunity for traditional automakers like Ford and GM to gain sales from new buyers, particularly in EV-loving California. California High-Speed Rail Authority With the clawing back of $4 billion in federal grants to support it, the Trump Administration seems hell bent on ensuring that California's high-speed rail project ends up as precisely the 'train to nowhere' the President has lambasted it as. Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing to keep the money, but the train's new CEO has big ideas for saving the priciest U.S. infrastructure project. They include new long-term funding, private partnerships and even turning to one of California's newest 'natural' resources: The AI data center. Ian Choudri, who spent decades working on global mega-infrastructure projects for major engineering firms Bechtel, Alstom and Parsons before taking the high-speed rail job last September, is on a mission to convince skeptics that after years of slow progress, the Golden State's bullet train from San Francisco to Los Angeles can be built– perhaps for less than its $128 billion price tag and even without federal support. 'We'll show that it becomes less cumbersome on taxpayers because it's generating revenue,' he told Forbes, without providing financial details. In addition to future ride revenue, he thinks the system can make money by letting tech firms build data centers on its land, powering them with solar farms that will also propel its trains. Other ideas include selling the rights to telecom companies to lay fiber optic cable along the train's path, and promoting real-estate development projects on its route, particularly in the lower-priced Central Valley region. 'We're getting contacted by Silicon Valley investors now asking, 'Hey, can we move data centers into Fresno and plug into your power grid that's renewable?'' Choudri said. 'If I combine all those ancillary revenue sources, roughly it's going to be 30% to 40% of the farebox revenue.' Read more here Hot Topic Jiten Behl, partner at Eclipse Venture Equity, on key factors driving next-generation electric vehicle development Given headwinds in the U.S. for EVs coming from the Trump Administration, how do you see the market changing, based on your time as Rivian's chief strategy officer? Electrification as a trend is going to only go in one direction. The one single most valid data point is that anybody who drives an electric car is not going back to a gasoline or a diesel car. That's a fact more than just a prediction. The slope of the [EV market] curve … was actually fairly slow penetration, which is why it did not initially get the attention of the Fords and the GMs and all the big automakers. Then it accelerated, and they started taking it very seriously. Now what's happened in the last couple of years is that despite recent news we're seeing from automakers like GM and Ford, I don't share the same level of optimism that they're going to put the commensurate weight behind electrification as they would have a couple of years back. What that does is it's going to separate the guys who are serious about this trend, whose life depends on this trend, from the ones who have other cards in their pocket to survive this next phase. I think the EV trend continues. It is going to slow down. Incentives going away and the supply chains getting more expensive are a serious headwind for anybody who's building a product that's economically challenged relative to competition or competing powertrains. What's your advice to companies grappling with this situation? I think it's an opportunity to invest in automation, invest in removing labor hours through robotics and invest in autonomy. The world 10 years back, it was always about electrification; autonomy was a side project for most people. It's very clear that the world of electrification and autonomy has merged. That next level of merging is electrification, autonomy and distributed energy, which is not being talked about a lot. When things become electric and autonomous, you cannot just rely on fixed-grid infrastructure to power them and still maintain the uptime and the cost, the total cost of ownership. You need flexible energy solutions to enable electric, autonomous vehicles. If you ask me what, if I were at Rivian today, what would our executive sessions be like, it's: How do we make sure that we take cost out? We have to reorder our supply chains. It's going to take time. Let's invest in automation. Let's invest in robotics. Let's make sure that we are not reduced to being just a hardware player, so let's invest in the AI and the compute side of things and make a big play in autonomy. Let's make sure that we automate our plants as much as possible and do not take our eye off the ball when it comes to the energy side of things. Those to me are the four or five things I'm sure are on top of every automaker management team's mind.

The week in EV tech: Glitz on the coast, grit from Detroit

Welcome to Digital Trends' weekly recap of the revolutionary technology powering, connecting, and now driving next-gen electric vehicles. Monterey Car Week and its jewel event The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering have become the automotive world's most exclusive runway. Here, the richest of the rich—and the most daring of the designers—unveil concept cars that seem plucked from sci-fi dreams. Yet in the same week, a very different kind of revolution was also announced by Ford: a $30,000 midsize EV pickup, born from a new software‑designed, small‑battery platform meant to power a whole new 'family' of affordable electric vehicles. It's a reminder that while ultra‑luxury is dazzling, democratized EV tech isn't just possible—it's on the horizon. Recommended Videos Sculpted Innovations on the Lawn At The Quail, brands unleashed show‑stoppers resting somewhere between movie props and next‑gen vehicles. · Cadillac's Elevated Velocity concept redefined luxury and utility with flair: gullwing doors; bold 24‑inch wheels; and modes like Terra for off‑road, Elements Defy vibrating debris off the body, and Sand Vision for enhanced visibility in dust storms—all wrapped in cabin amenities like red‑light therapy and a 'waterfall' screen embedded in the steering wheel. · Karma Automotive impressed with its Kaveya super‑coupe and 'GT‑UV' study—complete with a production‑ready interior, carbon‑fiber structure, and a blistering 1,000 hp electric drivetrain. · A wave of ultra‑luxury and performance electrics also made their presence felt: from Rimac's 2,107‑hp Nevera Rhypercar (price: ~$2.5 million), to Acura's RSX prototype, powered by an in‑house EV architecture and showcasing Honda's e:Architecture, soon to reach production. Not to mention Mercedes‑AMG's futuristic Concept GT XX with 1,341 hp from triple axial‑flux motors, a radical performance blueprint. Set against this spectacle of excess, these vehicles illustrate the creative peak of EV tech: performance, luxury, radical design—yet firmly perched out of reach for most of us. Ford's 'Model‑T Moment' Hits Home Now look at the other end of the spectrum: Ford's bold announcement of a $30,000 midsize EV pickup, built on a software‑defined vehicle platform, sparked a collective intake of breath—not for its headline price, but for its implications. This 'universal EV Platform' is designed with a small, affordable LFP (lithium‑iron‑phosphate) battery, fewer parts, and an architecture structured to spawn a family of cost‑efficient models. More than just building a pickup, Ford is signaling the arrival of integrated EV tech where intelligent software, battery management, and production‑scale efficiency converge. Unsurprisingly, Ford CEO explicitly framed the move as a technological and price war with BYD—China's EV champion known for cost‑effective batteries and platform economies. Ford's plan is a direct challenge to the global dominance of affordable EVs emerging from Asia, blending scale, simplicity, and local battery production to undercut and compete. Ford's new generation of EVs will be built as software-defined vehicles, meaning their core systems—everything from performance tuning to infotainment and battery management—will be controlled by centralized software platforms. Much like a smartphone, they'll receive over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling Ford to introduce new features, improve efficiency, enhance safety, and fix bugs without a trip to the dealership. This concept first became reality in 2012, when Tesla introduced OTA updates in its Model S, setting a new standard for connected vehicle technology. In the years that followed, Chinese EV startups NIO and XPeng adopted similar software-first architectures, launching their own OTA-capable vehicles around 2018. By 2021, American EV makers Lucid and Rivian als o embraced the software-defined model, reinforcing the shift away from the traditional, hardware-centric approach to vehicle design. Today, SDVs are becoming increasingly commonplace across the industry. For drivers, this means owning a more adaptable and future-ready vehicle—one that can evolve over time. Automakers can remotely update vehicle behavior, improve range estimates, refine infotainment interfaces, and even introduce entirely new capabilities after the car has been sold. This also paves the way for personalized experiences and subscription-based features, where owners can unlock upgrades or tailor their vehicle's digital environment on demand. Two Worlds. One Future. What's most compelling is the contrast—and the convergence—of these stories. On one side, Monterey's lawn dazzles with what's next-level bold: solar visions, luxury interiors, hyper‑performance, AI‑driven cabins, and exaggerated power figures. On the other, Ford offers a quieter, yet perhaps revolutionary pivot: EV tech embedded in affordability, not as an afterthought, but as its core. Software-defined platforms mean updates, performance, safety, and user features can be upgraded without hardware overhaul—a glimpse at how mass‑market EVs can evolve fast. This isn't just a tech fantasy. It signals that EV solutions for the mainstream are maturing. Deep integration of cost‑effective battery chemistry, lean parts architecture, and software-centric control are what make an attainable EV reality—not just for well‑heeled collectors, but for everyday families.
