The green revolution is sweeping nearly every industry, and the automotive industry is no exception. In an effort to reduce emissions and minimize drivers’ carbon footprints, many automobile manufacturers began with gas/electric hybrid vehicles. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation the electric vehicle market in the United States has grown from a few thousand vehicles in 2010 to more than 315,000 vehicles sold annually from 2018 to 2020 which makes up about 2.5% of new vehicle sales.
Ford has had its share of models that included the C-Max Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid, Escape Hybrid, as well as an all-electric plug-in vehicle, the Ford Focus Electric. Ford slowly introduced these products into the vehicle market and, thus, they were a bit difficult for drivers to get their hands on. Ford made a promise to expand on the number of Ford dealers selling these models as well as leading innovation in the electric vehicle field. Well that future is here and now!
Ford is bringing electric vehicles at scale to American customers with two new massive, environmentally and technologically advanced campuses in Tennessee and Kentucky that will produce the next generation of Ford electric vehicles, and expects 40% to 50% of its global vehicle volume to be All Electric by 2030.
This past year Ford has released an Escape Hybrid Plug-in just before launching their first All Electric vehicle, the Mustang Mach-E which has taken the market space by storm. A short time later Ford jumped back into the small pick-up truck segment by releasing the Maverick with a Hybrid option. You can even get an Explorer along with an F-150 in a Hybrid model. The next big move this past year was the release of the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit Van which are both All Electric and expected to be hitting ground this year!
