Additionally, Ford may incur further expenses due to payments to EV-related suppliers, inventory adjustments, or other matters. The company also noted that significant changes in EV demand could lead to competitive pricing actions. Ford's strategy to meet regulatory standards may be affected by the sluggish EV market, and the company is considering the purchase of credits from third parties or modifying its product offerings to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Investors are directed to Ford's 2023 Form 10-K Report and subsequent SEC filings for a detailed discussion of the risks associated with lower-than-anticipated EV volumes and the transition to a greater mix of electric vehicles.
