Ford just announced its new universal EV platform that is expected to rein in costs for the company’s money losing EV business. Chief among those cost savings will be a much, much smaller battery. The BYD Atto 3 offers two battery options: a 49.92 kWh pack and a 60.48 kWh pack. That could mean Ford is looking at a battery with 51 kWh capacity, smaller than first-gen the Chevy Bolt’s 57 kWh pack. Ford acknowledges that the smaller battery will result in less range than typically available.
