Farley joined "GMA3" to discuss the plans and what they mean for the future of manufacturing. JIM FARLEY: It's a game changer for us. And good afternoon to you. Game changer for us, because we're really starting to scale EVs. We're number two in the U.S., and with this plant, we're adding not only 6,000 American jobs, but, you know, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of capacity and the plant will be completely green. All the electrons that power the plant will be green electricity. So it's not just a story about an electric vehicle.
MORGAN: And Jim, it is no secret that Ford has clearly embraced the electrical vehicle market as have others, and yet EVs have faced their share of problems. About 18 Ford F-150 Lightnings had to be recalled for a battery fire issue earlier this year. There have been Tesla battery fires, GM, BMW, Volvo, all had recalls due to EV fire risks. How can you assure people that your EVs are safe?
