Ford has assumed a $3.8 billion loan to directly finance the construction and operation of its Kentucky EV battery plants after restructuring its BlueOval SK joint venture. This massive capital injection signals a major spending initiative on construction, manufacturing equipment, automation, and operational software for these facilities.
Filing excerpt
Ford assumed from BOSK all obligations under the $3,805,040,000 promissory note payable to DOE related to the single Kentucky plant for which advances were made and entered into a Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement with DOE (the “Ford DOE Loan Agreement”).
