Ford Reports 31% Increase In EV Sales, Driven By Popularity Of Tesla Cybertruck Rival F-150 Lightning
Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) said on Friday that it sold 31% more EVs in the U.S. last month than last year, thanks to the rising popularity of its EV pickup truck.
总部位于迪尔伯恩的福特汽车公司（纽约证券交易所代码：F）周五表示，由于其电动皮卡车越来越受欢迎，其上个月在美国的电动汽车销量比去年增加了31％。
What Happened: Ford sold 8,242 electric vehicles in July, marking a 31% growth from the 6,280 units sold in July 2023. However, electric vehicles account for only about 5% of the company's overall vehicle sales in the month.
发生了什么：福特在7月份售出了8,242辆电动汽车，较2023年7月的6,280辆增长了31％。但是，电动汽车仅占该公司本月汽车总销量的5％左右。
| Model | July 2024 Sales | July 2023 Sales |
| Mustang Mach-E | 4,592 | 3,937 |
| F-150 Lightning | 2,822 | 1,552 |
| E-transit | 828 | 791 |
| Total | 8,242 | 6,280 |
| 模型 | 2024 年 7 月销售额 | 2023 年 7 月销售 |
| Mustang Mach-E | 4592 | 3,937 |
| F-150 闪电 | 2,822 | 1,552 |
| 电子交通 | 828 | 791 |
| 总计 | 8,242 | 6,280 |
The drive in EV sales during the month was largely driven by an 82% jump in sales for the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, of which the company sold 2,822 units.
本月电动汽车销量的增长主要是由于 F-150 闪电皮卡车的销量增长了82％，该公司售出了2822辆。
Ford's other two EV offerings in the U.S.- the Mustang Mach-E SUV and the E-transit van- also saw sales grow from last year by 17% and 5%, respectively.
福特在美国的另外两款电动汽车——野马Mach-E SUV和E-Transit面包车——的销量也分别比去年增长了17％和5％。
Why It Matters: While the Mustang Mach-E SUV is directly up against EV giant Tesla Inc's Model Y SUV in the mass market electric SUV segment, the F-150 Lightning is up against the company's Cybertruck in the electric pickup segment.
为何重要：尽管野马Mach-E SUV在大众市场电动SUV领域直接与电动汽车巨头特斯拉公司的Model Y SUV对抗，但在电动皮卡领域，F-150 Lightning却与该公司的Cybertruck对抗。
Rising Cybertruck sales appear to have no effect on F-150 Lightning sales, which continue to grow this year compared to the same quarters last year. Tesla began delivering its Cybertruck only in November of last year.
Cybertruck销量的增长似乎对F-150 Lightning的销量没有影响，与去年同期相比，今年的销量继续增长。特斯拉直到去年11月才开始交付Cybertruck。
In the second quarter, Ford sold 7,902 Lightning trucks, marking a 77% growth from last year despite Tesla delivering 8,755 Cybertrucks in the quarter, as per Kelley Blue Book estimates.
根据凯利蓝皮书的估计，尽管特斯拉在本季度交付了8,755辆Cybertruck，但福特在第二季度售出了7,902辆闪电卡车，比去年增长了77％。
Ford CEO Jim Farley had dismissed concerns about the Cybertruck in June 2023, terming it a "cool high-end product parked in front of a hotel," unlike Ford trucks "made for real people who do real work."
福特首席执行官吉姆·法利在2023年6月驳斥了对Cybertruck的担忧，称其为 “停在酒店门前的酷炫高端产品”，这与福特卡车 “专为真正从事实际工作的人打造” 不同。
