Ford shared more details about the Universal EV platform, which will debut next year with a new affordable electric pickup truck. The Blue Oval bets on aerodynamic efficiency to compensate for the smaller battery capacity, making it possible to sell the truck profitably at the $30,000 starting price.
   
Ford is a special case in the automotive industry due to its controversial stance on electric vehicles.
