Ford Motor Company reported a notable increase in its U.S. vehicle sales in February, with 165,693 vehicles sold, representing over 9% growth compared to the same period last year.

The year-to-date sales also showed a positive trend, reaching 311,325 units, up 7% year-over-year. These figures come as a positive surprise for a company that some believed was experiencing an “EV slowdown.”

Of particular interest is Ford’s performance in the electric vehicle (EV) segment, where the company saw significant growth last month. Ford’s all-electric vehicle sales amounted to 6,368 units, marking an impressive 81% increase compared to a year ago. The EV share of Ford’s total volume also improved, reaching 3.8%, up from 2.3% a year ago.

The Mustang Mach-E, Ford’s flagship electric vehicle, saw a 64% increase in sales year-over-year, with 2,930 units sold in February. The F-150 Lightning, Ford’s all-electric version of its popular pickup truck, recorded 2,578 units sold, marking a 93% increase from a year ago. Additionally, the E-Transit, Ford’s electric van, saw a substantial growth of 113%, with 860 units sold.

So far this year, Ford has sold over 11,000 all-electric vehicles in the U.S., a 26% increase from last year, accounting for about 3.5% of the brand’s total volume.

Despite the positive sales figures, Ford continues to face challenges, particularly with inventory levels. The company reported a “gross stock” of 20,100 units, which is still equivalent to multiple months of sales. Production of the Mustang Mach-E in Mexico also decreased in February, possibly indicating a strategic adjustment to align with expected demand.
