According to CNBC, establishing a March 13th deadline offers supplier SK On more time to ramp up battery manufacturing at its Georgia plant and send the packs to the F-150 Lightning plant in Michigan. “In the next weeks, we will use our learnings and collaborate with SK On’s team to ensure we continue to provide high-quality battery packs – right down to the battery cells,” Ford added. “As REVC [Rouge Electric Vehicle Center] ramps up production, we will continue to hold previously manufactured vehicles as we work through engineering and part changes.”
