In the second quarter of this year, Ford sold 23,957 electric vehicles in the United States, a 61% increase from the same period last year, when total electric vehicle sales were 14,843. Meanwhile, Ford’s sales of hybrid vehicles rose 55 percent year over year. However, sales of internal combustion engine cars were down 5 per cent year on year.
Ford saw double-digit sales growth for several of its electric vehicles. Sales of the Ford F-150 Lightning rose 76.9% to 7,902 units. While new competitors such as the Tesla Cybertruck and the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST have all hit the U.S. market, the Ford F-150 Lightning remained the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in the first half of the year, with 15,654 units sold.
Second-quarter sales of the Ford Mustang Mach-E were up 46.5% year-over-year to 12,645 units. In the first half of this year, 22,234 units of the Mustang Mach-E were delivered, the best performance ever. Sales of Ford’s E-Transit electric van continued to climb in the second quarter, rising 95.5 percent to 3,410 units from a year earlier.
In the first half of 2024, Ford sold a total of 44,189 electric vehicles in the U.S. market, up 72% from 25,709 in the same period last year.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said the automaker is shifting to smaller, more affordable electric vehicles to close the gap with Tesla and fend off competitors like BYD worldwide. Referring to Americans’ love affair with “larger vehicles,” Farley said smaller electric vehicles are “very important to driving the decarbonisation of American society and the development of electric vehicles.”
Ford’s surge in electric vehicle sales in the US market is enough for it to continue to overtake General Motors. In the United States, GM delivered 21,930 electric vehicles in the second quarter, compared with 38,355 in the first half of 2024.
GM is also ramping up production by introducing new models, with electric models such as the Chevrolet Blazer, Equinox and Silverado coming to the U.S. market. While Tesla did not give specific sales figures by region, its second-quarter electric vehicle sales worldwide exceeded expectations, delivering 443,956 electric vehicles and remaining №1 in the U.S. market.
As competition in the U.S. electric vehicle market intensifies, other competitors, including Hyundai and Kia, also set new EV sales records in the second quarter. Hyundai Motor, for example, set a new sales record with its IONIQ 5 model, which sold 18,728 units in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, sales of Kia’s first three-row electric SUV, the EV9, are also climbing.

link hidden, please login to view Electric car maker Fisker said on June 12 it would recall more than 18,000 vehicles in North America and Europe due to software glitches and non-compliance with safety standards, the latest setback for the cash-strapped electric car start-up.
Fisker is voluntarily recalling 11,201 Ocean vehicles sold in the United States, Canada and Europe to fix a software issue that could cause the vehicles to enter safe state protected mode, potentially causing the motors to lose power.
In addition, Fisker is recalling 6,864 Ocean vehicles in the United States because the dashboard and display prompt ICONS do not comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). The company will also recall an additional 281 vehicles in Canada as a result.

The startup plans to address these issues with an OTA update to Ocean OS in-car software by June 30. The company said vehicles that have been updated to the latest version of the software are not affected by the recall.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating four safety incidents involving the Ocean SUV, the only Fisker model currently in production. NHTSA said last month that it was investigating complaints that the Ocean Automatic Emergency Braking System was accidentally activated.
Cash-strapped Fisker is looking for alternatives after talks with a major automaker over a potential investment collapsed. The company’s Austrian subsidiary filed for bankruptcy protection in May.
