Shares in US car maker Ford continue to gain since we said to buy last August as the company reaffirms its commitment to electric vehicles.

As part of his $2.3 trillion infrastructure package for the US economy, President Biden has promised $174 billion of investment in electric vehicles, which provides a strong tailwind.

On 20 May, during the President’s visit to Ford’s factory in Dearborn, Michigan, the car maker announced it would establish a battery joint venture in the US with Korea’s SK Innovation. The total investment is expected to top $5 billion and production is expected to begin mid-decade.

The company also unveiled its latest version of the iconic F-150 pickup truck, with permanent four-wheel drive and an all-electric power train.

Within 12 hours of the news, the company had 20,000 reservations for the vehicle, a resounding endorsement of its electric vehicle strategy according to chairman and chief executive Jim Farley.


SHARES SAYS: We expect investors to remain enthusiastic
about Ford’s expansion into electric vehicles. Keep buying.
