Ford bets on 48-volt tech and gigacasting to power its next-gen EV pickup

Ford outlines a plan to base its next-generation EVs on a universal platform powered by a 48-volt electrical architecture, aiming to boost efficiency and cut costs with lighter wiring and advanced ECUs, while using gigacasting and lighter aluminum castings to speed production; the company targets a $30,000 midsize EV pickup in 2027 and sees this approach helping it compete with Tesla and Chinese brands by reducing parts and assembly time and bringing prices closer to gas vehicles.
