You mean like the backup plan when MyFordTouch had to be launched with 1500 bugs and took almost a year to stabilize? Or the backup plan to keep making ICE hybrids when the BEV takeover didn’t happen?

Maverick xl hybrid - 28,145
chevrolet bolt EV - 28,595
chevrolet equinox ev - 33,600
chevrolet Trax - 20,500
