As the company seeks electrification growth, it is considering forging supply deals with lithium producers, Ford said. Lithium is a key ingredient to make lithium-ion batteries, which power electric vehicles.​

Ford rival Tesla Inc has a lithium supply deal with Australia’s Kidman Resources Ltd .
“We are looking at the entire supply chain and where we want to play,” Ford said, without mentioning a specific company. Albemarle Corp and SQM are the world’s largest lithium producers.
