Ford Edges Out GM in Q3 Electric Vehicle Sales as Mustang Mach-E Soars

Ford sold 20,962 electric vehicles in Q3, beating out GM's 20,092 EV sales. The Mustang Mach-E carried Ford's EV sales, with 14,842 units sold.

Mach-E sales rose 42.5% versus Q2 as Ford ramped up production capacity after plant retooling. The SUV hit a new monthly sales record of 5,872 units in September.

Ford's E-Transit van had its best quarter yet, selling 2,617 units - up nearly 90% over last year. It was the top-selling electric van.

F-150 Lightning sales dipped 46% as production was temporarily halted for 6 weeks to expand plant capacity. Deliveries were limited in July/August.

Ford says Lightning production will triple after plant expansions. A new Flash trim targets high-demand features starting at $69,995.
