The most important news is that Ford<\/a> significantly increased its battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales and become the second largest player in the country last year.<\/p>\n In December, Ford more than tripled BEV sales to 7,823 (up 233 percent year-over-year), which is a new monthly record and about 4.4 percent of the group’s total volume. As we can see on the graph below, Ford is quickly accelerating electrification.<\/p>\n Ford’s BEV lineup includes three models – the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the all-new Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup, and Ford E-Transit commercial van.<\/p>\n During the fourth quarter, Ford sold 20,339 all-electric vehicles, compared to 8,285 a year ago.<\/p>\n In 2022, Ford more than doubled its BEV sales to 61,575 units, which is a new record and represents 3.3 percent of the total volume (compared to 1.4 percent a year ago<\/a>).<\/p>\n BEV sales in 2022:<\/p>\n Well, in 2023, we will potentially see a six-digit volume for the very first time.<\/p>\n Sales of the Ford F-150 Lightning amounted to 2,359 units in December, which appears to be more or less the initial output level of the factory (more than 2,000 units per month).<\/p>\n After several months on the market, 15,617 units were delivered to customers. According to Ford, those results make the Ford F-150 Lightning the top electric pickup in the US.<\/p>\n “The F-150 Lightning was the No. 1 electric truck in America in December and the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. since its launch in May with 15,617 electric trucks sold.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n For reference, Rivian delivered 20,332 BEVs in 2022<\/a> (but that includes the R1T pickup, R1S SUV and EDV vans, as well as a small number of vehicle deliveries in Canada).<\/p>\n It will be very interesting to see what will happen in 2023, as Ford is expected to noticeably increase production.<\/p>\n The Ford Mustang Mach-E remains the company’s top BEV by volume with 4,775 units sold in December (up 103 percent year-over-year). In 2022, over 39,000 Mach-E were sold in the US (up 45 percent) so this is clearly one of the most popular models on the market.<\/p>\n Production of the Ford Mustang Mach-E in Mexico amounted to 6,247 units last month and 77,959 year-to-date (that’s only a fifth more than in 2021).<\/p>\n The numbers exclude China, where the Mach-E is locally produced and sold<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Ford recently celebrated the production of the 150,000th Mach-E<\/a>. In the future, the output is expected to increase to 270,000 units annually (more than three times higher than in 2022).<\/p>\n In the first year on the market, 6,500 Ford E-Transit were delivered (including 689 in December). That’s a pretty good start.<\/p>\n According to Ford, the E-Transit represents 73 percent of the all-electric commercial van segment in the US (2022).<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Ford does not report sales of other plug-in models, like the Ford Escape PHEV<\/a>. Lincoln<\/a>‘s PHEV sales were not revealed either.<\/p>\n In December, the total sales of Ford and Lincoln vehicles in the United States increased by over 3 percent year-over-year to 179,279. Nonetheless, the year 2022 ended below 2021 level. Results in December and in 2022: Ford sales: 172,013 (up 2.7%) and 1,780,978 (down 2.1%) Lincoln sales: 7,266 (up 17.3%) and 83,486 (down 4.0%) Total […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-e-cars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/39819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/autosector.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"external_image\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/ford-bev-sales-in-the-us-december-2022.png\")
