Ford posts strong November sales, hits monthly EV sales record

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it had its best November for U.S. sales since before the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving a 14% increase year-over-year and an all-time monthly electric vehicle sales record.

The Dearborn automaker sold 166,373 vehicles last month. That included 10,821 all-electric vehicles, representing 6.5% of sales that were up 21% from last year. Ford is running its "Power Promise" campaign, which is offering to cover the cost of a standard installation of a Level 2 home charger with each EV purchase or lease or an additional cash incentive. President-elect Donald Trump's victory also may be prompting some EV owner wannabes to get one now, as the up to $7,500 tax credit for plug-in vehicles could be eliminated under the new adminisration.
