Ford Fathom to be Built at Louisville on a New EV Assembly Tree

Ford plans to build the Fathom, a forthcoming affordable electric midsize pickup, at the Louisville Assembly Plant using its Universal EV platform. Production-qualified prototypes are slated for Q1 2027, with customer vehicles arriving in 2028. Ford is overhauling the plant around a novel 'assembly tree' approach—three parallel sub-assemblies (front, rear, and structural battery/parts) merge at final assembly to boost efficiency and ergonomics, as the company shifts away from a traditional line.

Polestar 4 SUV adds wagon-like practicality, V2L power, and a looming US exit

It comes in single-motor RWD (268 hp, 7.3s 0–62 mph, 391 miles WLTP) and dual-motor AWD (544 hp, 3.9s 0–62 mph, 373 miles WLTP), both on a 100-kWh pack with 200 kW DC fast charging (10→80% in ~30 minutes) and bidirectional V2L up to 3.3 kW, plus Camp mode coming via software update. The SUV also signals a broader US policy change: Polestar won’t be allowed to sell cars in the US from the 2027 model year due to the U.S. Connected Vehicles Rule, effectively ending its American presence.
