The new model will wear the Fathom nameplate and have a footprint comparable to the compact, gasoline-powered Ford Maverick. The Fathom will be built on Ford's new Universal EV platform that will also underpin several of the brand's other upcoming low-cost electric vehicles. With Ford claiming that the arrival of its new electric pickup is a "Model T moment" for the brand, we expect big things when details start rolling in. While neither electric pickup will come well-furnished, the Ford will likely offer some creature comforts—like an audio system and power windows—that the Slate will not. The Ford Fathom will be the first of several budget-conscious electric vehicles built on Ford's Universal EV platform.
