Ford's EV Sales Are Way Up, With The F-150 Lightning Leading The Way

“While industry semiconductor chip shortages persist, improved inventory flow in April delivered a significant share gain of 1.0 percentage point over a year ago with Ford outperforming the industry.” said Andrew Frick, Ford’s vice president of Sales, Distribution & Trucks. “Inventory flow bolstered stronger F-Series, Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit and record April Ford brand SUV sales. We are now shipping all models of the electric F-150 Lightning.

Even before the event, there was a lot of pent-up demand for a true electric pickup. The F-150 is the top selling vehicle in the United States, so this makes a lot of sense. While trucks are useful globally, they’re especially popular in the United States. Few who drive a truck would be willing or able to switch to something like a Nissan LEAF or even a Tesla Model Y when the electric bug bites them. For some people, it’s just personal taste. For many others, having the bed to haul things in is important . Being able to tow more or tow a fifth-wheel trailer at all is another key capability.

The F-150 Lightning brought a lot more to the table than just a truck that happens to be electric. Going electric alone helps with costs and convenience, and keeping the truck similar to the gas-powered trucks helps with compatibility with F-150 accessories .

Comparing April sales to April 2021 sales was an even bigger jump. Ford and its dealer network sold 95% more than last year, which puts them at their best monthly sales for the model so far, and puts them at #2 in electric crossover sales . For those who like to look up and compare raw numbers, the total Mach-Es sold were 10,539.Compared to March, April’s E-Transit electric work van sales were up 62.3%, with a total of 1,575 sales this year so far.
