You've linked to an older story. They've since reached a settlement allowing to move forward.SK Innovation Co Ltd is only going to be able to sell F-150 Lightning battery packs to Ford for the next 4 years (MY22 - MY25 Lightnings) in the US.
Then SK Innovation are then banned from selling any more batteries in the US for 6 more years (2032).
Because they lost a US Trade case against LG Chem Ltd for stealing their trade secrets.
Ford is going to need to find another battery supplier and/or start making their own batteries for the MY26+ F-150 Lightning.
