Ford’s electrical automobile gross sales within the 4th quarter reached a brand new excessive for the corporate. The corporate had 30,176 EV deliveries to shut out 2024. Throughout the complete 12 months, Ford practically reached 100,000 pure EV gross sales (97,865 when all was stated and performed on December 31).

Notably, the corporate’s EVs completed the 12 months robust. The Ford Mustang Mach-E had its finest quarter ever within the 4th quarter, with 16,119 items delivered. True, that’s nothing in comparison with the equally sized and priced Tesla Mannequin Y, however it outsold ever different electrical SUV within the nation.

All of Ford’s full electrical fashions had file years. Listed here are their key numbers for the 12 months:

Ford Mustang Mach-E — 51,745 gross sales+27%
Ford F-150 Lightning — 33,510 gross sales+39%
Ford E-Transit — 12,610 gross sales+64%

To suppose that Ford executives have been speaking about slowing EV gross sales, or gross sales development, on the finish of 2023 and starting of 2024!

Ford additionally highlighted “electrified” automobile, hybrid plus electrical automobile, gross sales. I do know most of our readers aren’t too within the hybrid gross sales, however right here’s the corporate’s general abstract on that: “Total Ford electrified vehicle sales (hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric) hit a record 285,291 this year — up 38%, outselling GM and Stellantis’ electrified vehicles for the full year.” It had 187,426 hybrid gross sales on prime of its 97,865 EV gross sales.

Again to pure electrical automobile gross sales, Ford famous that it’s the #2 EV model in america. I’ll have to attend till I’ve all 4th quarter numbers in to verify that, however it was indeed the case in the 3rd quarter.

It’s nice to see EV progress and robust gross sales development at Ford, however the firm continues to be removed from being an EV big and much from its EV gross sales rivaling its non-EV gross sales. Solely 6.0% of Ford’s gross sales have been EV gross sales within the 4th quarter in case you take a look at Ford the model, and 5.7% have been in case you take a look at the corporate as a complete (including Lincoln in). Sure, that’s a giant step up from the 3rd quarterhowever I don’t suppose anybody would name it particularly commendable in 2024/2025. And the figures have been 5.0% and 4.7%, respectively, for the 12 months as a complete.
