Ford EV Sales Fall Apart
Briefly

In June, Ford Motor Co.'s electric vehicle sales dropped by 31% to 16,438 units, coinciding with reported quality issues and a factory shutdown. Overall vehicle sales, however, rose by 14.2%, totaling 612,095. The Mustang Mach-E has a troubling lockout problem leading to recalls. Despite high gasoline-powered F-150 sales, the F-150 Lightning saw a 26.1% year-on-year decline. Additionally, incentives for the Mach-E suggest weak demand for the company's electric vehicles, raising concerns about future market position amidst increasing competition.
