Ford electric car statistics show a growing U.S. battery-electric business centered on three reported lines: Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit. The figures below separate battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) from hybrids and broader electrified-vehicle totals, and identify when a number is a survey result, estimate, plan or historical baseline.

Ford Electric Car Sales Statistics and Market Position
Ford’s U.S. battery-electric sales reached 97,865 vehicles in calendar 2024, combining the three named BEV lines reported by the company. Ford said that total was 38% higher than in 2023, while Q4 2024 alone reached 30,176 vehicles, described as the company’s best quarterly EV result at that time (U.S. Retail Sales Grow at Double the Industry Pace in 2024).
Ford also described itself as the No. 2 U.S. electric-vehicle brand for calendar 2024.
That is a company-reported market position based on company or industry sales data and is not independently recomputed here.
| U.S. Ford EV measure | Period | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Electric vehicles | 2022 | 61,575 |
| Electric vehicles | 2023 | 72,608, up 17.9% |
| Electric vehicles | Q4 2023 | 25,937, up 27.5% from Q4 2022 |
| Electric vehicles | 2024 | 97,865, up 38% |
| Electric vehicles | Q4 2024 | 30,176 |
The 2022 and 2023 figures come from Ford’s U.S. sales table, which reported 72,608 EVs in 2023, up 17.9% from 61,575 in 2022. The same table reported Q4 2023 sales of 25,937, up 27.5% from Q4 2022 (Ford U.S. Sales Rise 7.1% to Nearly 2 Million Vehicles in 2023).
Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit Trends
The 2024 model mix shows three different growth profiles. Mustang Mach-E remained the largest of the three by annual U.S. sales, while E-Transit recorded the fastest year-over-year increase.
| Model | 2023 U.S. sales | 2024 U.S. sales | 2024 change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mustang Mach-E | 40,771 | 51,745 | +27% |
| F-150 Lightning | 24,165 | 33,510 | +39% |
| E-Transit | 7,672 | 12,610 | +64% |
Ford’s earlier sales table recorded Mustang Mach-E at 40,771 vehicles in 2023, up 3.3% from 39,458 in 2022. F-150 Lightning reached 24,165 in 2023, up 54.7% from 15,617, while E-Transit reached 7,672, up 18.0% from 6,500 (Ford U.S. Sales Rise 7.1% to Nearly 2 Million Vehicles in 2023).
Quarterly data adds context to the annual results. Mustang Mach-E sold 16,119 units in Q4 2024, its best quarterly result at that time, while Q4 2023 F-150 Lightning sales were 11,905, up 73.6% from Q4 2022, and E-Transit sales were 2,143, up 1.4% (U.S. Retail Sales Grow at Double the Industry Pace in 2024, Ford U.S. Sales Rise 7.1% to Nearly 2 Million Vehicles in 2023).
Ford’s narrative 2023 release rounded F-150 Lightning growth to 55% and Mustang Mach-E growth to 3%. The precise unit changes above should be used when exact comparison matters (Ford Posts Best-Ever Full Year and Q4 for EV Sales in U.S.).
Quarterly Ford EV Adoption and Customer Mix
Ford reported 20,223 U.S. EV sales in Q1 2024, up 86% from Q1 2023. Model results were 9,589 Mustang Mach-E vehicles, up 77%; 7,743 F-150 Lightning vehicles, up 80%; and 2,891 E-Transit vehicles, up 148% (Ford Hybrids, EVs, Transit Set Records; Q1 Sales Top Industry, Up 7%).
The Q1 release also reported that more than 40% of commercial customers ordering 2024 F-150 Lightning vehicles were repeat Lightning customers. This is an ordering measure among commercial customers, not a rate for all owners or all buyers.
Ford’s 2023 reporting provides additional customer-mix indicators:
- Ford reported F-150 Lightning sales up 119% in Q2 2023 versus Q2 2022.
- Ford reported Mustang Mach-E June 2023 sales up 110% year over year, while noting inventory flow as a factor.
- Ford EV sales were up 11.9% year to date through June 2023 versus the same period in 2022.
- F-150 Lightning buyers were 50% new to Ford in the latest conquest data cited in a 2023 release.
These figures describe company-reported sales, monthly or year-to-date comparisons, and conquest data with limited methodological detail; they are not a population-wide adoption rate (Ford Hybrids, EVs, Transit Set Records; Q1 Sales Top Industry, Up 7%).
Ford Electrified Vehicle Data Compared With Hybrids
Ford uses “electrified” more broadly than “battery-electric.” Its 2024 U.S. total of 285,291 electrified vehicles included HEVs, PHEVs and BEVs, so it should not be presented as a BEV total. Ford said the category rose 38% in 2024 and exceeded GM and Stellantis electrified sales, a competitive comparison reported by Ford (U.S. Retail Sales Grow at Double the Industry Pace in 2024).
| Category | Period | U.S. result |
|---|---|---|
| Battery-electric vehicles | 2024 | 97,865 |
| All electrified vehicles | 2024 | 285,291 |
| Hybrid vehicles | 2023 | 133,743, up 25.3% |
| Hybrid vehicles | Q4 2023 | 37,229, up 55.5% |
Ford sold 133,743 hybrid vehicles in the United States in 2023, up 25.3% from 106,705 in 2022. Q4 2023 hybrid sales were 37,229, up 55.5% from Q4 2022, while separate global/company reporting said Ford hybrid sales increased 20% in 2023 (Ford U.S. Sales Rise 7.1% to Nearly 2 Million Vehicles in 2023, 2024 Integrated Sustainability and Financial Report).
Ford also reported an estimated 76% U.S. hybrid-truck segment share in 2024. The company labels this an estimate, and the segment definition and source are not fully reproduced in the release.
A later company reference described the Ford F-150 as America’s best-selling full-size hybrid pickup in Q3 2025, with 22,212 quarterly sales. That figure concerns the hybrid F-150, not the battery-electric F-150 Lightning, and is not a BEV comparison (U.S. Retail Sales Grow at Double the Industry Pace in 2024).
Ford Electric Car Ownership Support and Charging Access
Ford’s North American FordPass Charging Network offered more than 16,000 charging locations and 47,000 plugs in 2023. These were company-reported network counts and may include partner-operated sites (2024 Integrated Sustainability and Financial Report).
The European network was reported at more than 155,000 public charging stations in a 2021 baseline cited in Ford integrated-report materials. Because that is a historical baseline, it should not be treated as a current 2024 or 2025 network size.
Ford reported 9 million FordPass and Lincoln Way members globally in its 2021 performance highlights. Membership is not equivalent to EV ownership or charging use.
Ford’s 2023 IRA consumer-credit guidance listed maximum credits of $7,500 for F-150 Lightning and $3,750 each for Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit. The guidance used an $80,000 MSRP ceiling for eligible vans, SUVs and pickups, but eligibility also depended on vehicle, delivery date, MSRP, income and then-current rules (Ford Confirms Electric Vehicle Lineup Eligible for Inflation Reduction Act Consumer Incentives).
In 2024, Ford’s Power Promise offered retail Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit buyers or lessees a complimentary home charger or standard installation, plus access to a 24/7 Ford EV advisor. These are program benefits, not measured adoption or satisfaction rates (Ford Power Promise Gives Electric Vehicle Customers New Confidence).
Ford’s research also separates attitudes from behavior. In Ford Trends 2024, 56% of respondents globally agreed that all-electric vehicles are the future; the online survey included 16,086 interviews across 16 countries, so the percentage is not a population-wide ownership rate (Evolutionary Sustainability—Ford Trends 2024).
The Power Promise research surveyed 2,007 U.S. respondents from September 13–17, 2024. Its online market-research design limits how broadly the result should be generalized (Ford Power Promise Gives Electric Vehicle Customers New Confidence).
Ford Electric Vehicle Production, Jobs and Environmental Metrics
Ford announced more than $50 billion of global EV investment through 2026 and an earlier target for a production run rate above 2 million all-electric vehicles per year by the end of 2026. Another earlier strategy targeted more than half of global production as EVs by 2030; these are company plans, not realized production or current shares (2024 Integrated Sustainability and Financial Report).
Ford said it had tripled planned F-150 Lightning manufacturing capacity at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, in 2023. Capacity plans are not equivalent to actual output or sales (Ford Restarts Expanded Rouge Electric Vehicle Center).
Ford and battery partners had announced 18,000 new direct EV-related U.S. jobs since 2019, according to Ford’s 2023 reporting. Ford estimated those announced direct jobs could support more than 100,000 indirect U.S. jobs; announced jobs are not necessarily filled or retained, and the indirect figure is an estimate (Ford Confirms Electric Vehicle Lineup Eligible for Inflation Reduction Act Consumer Incentives).
Environmental indicators cover Ford’s broader operations rather than electric cars alone. Ford said it reduced the carbon footprint of manufacturing and non-manufacturing operations by 47% between 2017 and 2023, and its 2023 sustainability report cited 31 U.S. locations recognized by the Department of Energy for energy and greenhouse-gas savings (2024 Integrated Sustainability and Financial Report).
Ford also announced plans for BlueOval Battery Park Michigan while protecting 245 acres along the Kalamazoo River. The land figure is a planned or protected area, not a measured vehicle or emissions outcome.
For industry context, the EPA estimated average new-vehicle real-world fuel economy at a record 27.2 mpg for model year 2024, up 0.1 mpg from the prior year. The EPA also estimated that 34% of model-year 2024 new vehicles were cars and 66% were trucks under NHTSA regulatory definitions, with trucks including SUVs and pickups classified as non-passenger vehicles (2024 EPA Automotive Trends Report).
The EPA estimated that model-year 2024 average new-vehicle fuel economy would have been 1.7 mpg lower without BEVs and PHEVs. Separately, EPA estimated Ford’s model-year 2024 average new-vehicle fuel economy at 23.4 mpg; both figures are fleet benchmarks, not Ford electric-car-only efficiency measures (2024 EPA Automotive Trends Report).
