为什么会有影响：福特不仅在其电动汽车中赢得了爬坡比赛的胜利，而且在顾客中也获得了胜利。在第二季度，福特在美国销售了23,957辆电动汽车，较去年同期增长了61.4%。这种销售增长的原因主要是由于其野马Mach-E SUV的流行，该公司销售了12,645辆。F-150闪电电动皮卡车是该公司第二畅销的电动汽车，其次是E-transit电动货车。
The surge in sales was mostly due to the popularity of its Mustang Mach-E SUV of which the company sold 12,645 units. The F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck was the second best-selling EV from the company, followed by its E-transit electric vans.
