DEARBORN, MI - Ford Motor Company projects it will lose $3 billion on electric vehicle sales this year while still hitting profits of $9 billion to $11 billion. The Dearborn automaker released the details Thursday as a part of its new financial reporting that breaks down results by vehicle division. This comes after Ford split the business last year to create an electric vehicle unit separate from internal combustion vehicles. Some major investments include a $5.6 billion BlueOval City mega-plant in Tennessee, a $5.8 billion battery park in Kentucky and a $3.5 billion battery plant slated for southwest Michigan. Billions of dollars are being invested across the United States as automakers shift toward producing electric vehicles.
