Ford Doubled Its EV Gross sales by Tripling Its EV Mannequin Lineup

The Ford Motor Firm is struggling to satiate the demand for its autos. In its October gross sales report, Ford said that car gross sales are down ten p.c in comparison with October 2022, whereas orders for 2023 model-year autos are up 134 p.c. Clients positioned over 52,000 orders for the 2023 Ford Tremendous Obligation in 5 days. The constraints on car manufacturing will undoubtedly ease over time, and Ford will be capable to convert these orders into gross sales finally. Although, Ford does have accomplishments to boast about: its electrical car gross sales.

Ford’s press launch famous, “Ford’s electrical car momentum continued in October with gross sales of its EV lineup up 120 p.c over final yr, about two occasions the speed of progress of the general EV section.” While an over doubling of gross sales is nothing to scoff at, there’s a serious caveat to that improve. In the USA, Ford solely provided a single electrical car in 2021, the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Since then, Ford has launched the F-150 Lightning electrical pick-up truck and the E-Transit electrical van. I might be shocked if Ford didn’t have a major improve in EV gross sales after increasing its electrical providing from a single mannequin to a few.

The discharge’s hyperbole may be a bit jading, it’s clear that there’s a demand for electrical autos and Ford is the primary selection for many clients. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is the best-selling electrical truck in the USA. October 2022 was one of the best gross sales month for the F-150 Lightning because it was launched. The Ford E-Transit is the nation’s best-selling electrical van. The general gross sales image for Ford may be lackluster, however there are many indicators that the longer term is wanting brilliant for the venerable automaker.
