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.
總部位於迪爾伯恩的福特汽車公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：F）週五表示，由於其電動皮卡車越來越受歡迎，其上個月在美國的電動汽車銷量比去年增加了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.
發生了什麼：福特在7月份售出了8,242輛電動汽車，較2023年7月的6,280輛增長了31％。但是，電動汽車僅佔該公司本月汽車總銷量的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 月銷售額 | 2023 年 7 月銷售 |
| Mustang Mach-E | 4592 | 3,937 |
| F-150 閃電 | 2,822 | 1,552 |
| 電子交通 | 828 | 791 |
| 總計 | 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.
本月電動汽車銷量的增長主要是由於 F-150 閃電皮卡車的銷量增長了82％，該公司售出了2822輛。
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.
福特在美國的另外兩款電動汽車——野馬Mach-E SUV和E-Transit麪包車——的銷量也分別比去年增長了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.
爲何重要：儘管野馬Mach-E SUV在大衆市場電動SUV領域直接與電動汽車巨頭特斯拉公司的Model Y SUV對抗，但在電動皮卡領域，F-150 Lightning卻與該公司的Cybertruck對抗。
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銷量的增長似乎對F-150 Lightning的銷量沒有影響，與去年同期相比，今年的銷量繼續增長。特斯拉直到去年11月才開始交付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.
根據凱利藍皮書的估計，儘管特斯拉在本季度交付了8,755輛Cybertruck，但福特在第二季度售出了7,902輛閃電卡車，比去年增長了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."
福特首席執行官吉姆·法利在2023年6月駁斥了對Cybertruck的擔憂，稱其爲 “停在酒店門前的酷炫高端產品”，這與福特卡車 “專爲真正從事實際工作的人打造” 不同。
