Ford’s U.S. EV sales almost doubled in Q1 2024, exceeding 20,000 vehicles
In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive innovation, American automobile giant Ford Motor Company has emerged as a trailblazer, spearheading the electric vehicle (EV) revolution with matchless fervor. Leading the charge in the EV revolution, the brand nearly doubled its US EV sales in the first quarter on 2024, surpassing an impressive milestone of 20,000 vehicles.
The month of March witnessed the American automobile giant’s EV sales soaring to unprecedented heights, with every model contributing to this meteoric surge. Against a backdrop of growth, the automaker reported a commendable 5.4 per cent year-over-year surge, amounting to 181,274 new vehicle sales for the month under review. The surge reflected in the entire first quarter as well, culminating in a robust 6.8 per cent growth, with total sales reaching a staggering 508,083 vehicles. Yet, amidst this impressive growth, it’s the electric fleet that steals the show.
Last month, Ford's electric car sales skyrocketed to 9,181 units, marking a really impressive surge of 338 per cent compared to the corresponding month of 2023. This feat isn’t just a mere blip on the radar but a testament to the company’s steadfast commitment to electrification. Notably, all three of Ford's EV models (the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and the E-Transit) witnessed exponential growth.
When we zoom out to the broader canvas of Q1, we find that Ford's EV sales paint a vivid picture of transformation. Surpassing the 20,000-mark, Ford's U.S. EV sales represent a striking 86 per cent increase year-over-year. This milestone not only underlines the automaker’s dedication to electrification but also positions it as the second best-selling EV brand for the quarter in the U.S., trailing just behind the electric car pioneer Tesla Inc.
Peering into the horizon reveals that the electric future appears brighter than ever for the Dearborn-headquartered company. With each passing month, new records beckon, promising a landscape where sustainability and innovation converge seamlessly. Whether it is he sleek curves of the Mustang Mach-E of the rugged prowess of the F-150 Lightning, the brand’s electric fleet stands as a beacon of progress, paving the way for a greener, more environmentally-conscious automotive industry.
With a steadfast commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship, Ford's bold initiatives are reshaping the automotive landscape. The brand’s electrification efforts have evidently paved the way for a transformative journey, leading the charge toward a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
