ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A Brisbane vehicle remanufacturing company called BossCap has collapsed — and up to 100 jobs now appear to be at risk.BossCap’s AusEV division built its business around converting the Ford F-150 Lightning to right-hand drive for Australia. But when Ford ended production of the current-generation Lightning, that supply pipeline appears to have fallen apart — and with it, the foundation of the business.This video is about more than one company going under.It’s about what happens when a niche Australian manufacturer builds its future on top of a global EV product that never stacked up commercially in the real world.Ford sold the Lightning as the future. But affordability blew out, the economics never worked, and Ford itself eventually admitted large EVs had “no path to profitability”. Now the casualties are showing up far from Detroit — in Brisbane.In this report:• why BossCap/AusEV collapsed• how dependent it was on F-150 Lightning supply• what Ford has really said about killing the current Lightning• whether the promised “range-extender” replacement is real, or just spin• and why reality always wins when ideology outruns engineering, economics and the marketThe workers deserve your sympathy.The decision-makers deserve scrutiny.#Ford #F150Lightning #EV #ElectricVehicles #Bosscap #AusEV #AutoExpert
