## Resource

This week, Patrick and Tim sit down with Alan Clarke, the head of Ford’s skunkworks EV program that’s developing its next-generation EV platform. They discuss the brand’s upcoming $30,000 EV pickup, why it chose to start with a truck, what Alan learned from Tesla that he’s bringing to Ford, and why the pickup will get LFP battery cells. Stay tuned for Plus/Minus, in which Tim talks about Toyota and Patrick bids farewell to InsideEVs. Don’t worry — the podcast will continue with a new cohost, InsideEVs Deputy Editor Mack Hogan.
