Fake News. All 1,600 Kentucky workers fired as Ford’s $19.5B EV battery dream collapses.
Sounds scary for those workers, doesn’t it? The left is having a field day with those headlines. Christmas and what are they going to do? As Paul Harvey would say the rest of the story.
Ford formally dissolved its partnership with South Korean battery manufacturer SK On December 9, 2025. Ford took full control of the Kentucky plants. Yes, those 1,600 jobs are gone. What the article that printed the fake headline left out this. 1,600 jobs gone and when the plant is switched over, they will need 2,100 employees. And the new jobs will pay on average $125,000 yearly.
