Ford Motor Company has been making headlines with its record electrified vehicle sales in the first half of 2025. The company reported a total of 156,059 electrified vehicle sales, with hybrids leading the charge. Hybrid sales saw a significant 27% year-over-year increase, totaling over 117,000 units. This growth was largely attributed to popular models like the F-150 Hybrid and Maverick Hybrid.
The trend of increasing hybrid sales is not unique to Ford alone. Hyundai and Kia also reported a rise in hybrid sales, compensating for a slight dip in electric vehicle sales. Overall, electrified vehicle sales across various automakers have seen a 20% increase in the first half of the year.
The surge in hybrid sales reflects a broader trend that has emerged in recent years. While hybrids have been around since the early 2000s, their market share remained stagnant at around 2% of the U.S. car market. However, since 2020, hybrid sales have skyrocketed, accounting for approximately 12% of new car sales in the first quarter of 2025. When plug-in hybrids are included, the market share reaches around 14% in Q1.
Hybrid vehicles are gaining popularity as they offer consumers a balance between fuel efficiency and affordability, without the range anxiety and high price associated with fully electric cars. This shift is evident in Ford’s sales figures, where hybrid sales have outpaced pure EV sales.
On the other hand, Ford’s electric vehicle sales have shown a decline compared to the previous year. The company reported a 31% drop in EV sales in the second quarter of 2025 and an 11.8% decrease year-to-date. Models like the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and E-Transit van have experienced a decline in sales. Ford attributes this slowdown to factors such as market hesitancy around EV pricing and charging infrastructure.
While competitors like General Motors have doubled their EV sales by introducing new models, Ford has maintained its three existing EV models from the previous year. A recall and stop-sale order on the Mach-E further impacted Ford’s EV sales, as dealers faced challenges in selling available stock.
Despite the dip in EV sales, Ford’s success in the hybrid market highlights the shifting preferences of American consumers towards more fuel-efficient and cost-effective vehicle options. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, Ford remains optimistic about the future of electrified vehicles, with a focus on both hybrids and electric models to meet the changing demands of customers. The anticipation is high as we expect to see an increase in the flow of Mustang Mach-E inventory being released for sale throughout the month of July. This is exciting news for electric and hybrid vehicle enthusiasts, as it could potentially signify a strong trend for Ford in the electric and hybrid sales market.
With the demand for electric vehicles on the rise, the release of more Mustang Mach-E inventory could not come at a better time. As consumers become more environmentally conscious and seek out sustainable transportation options, Ford’s foray into the electric vehicle market with the Mustang Mach-E is a step in the right direction.
The Mustang Mach-E has been well-received for its sleek design, impressive performance, and competitive pricing. With more inventory becoming available for sale, more customers will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of driving an electric vehicle without compromising on style or power.
As we look ahead to the future of electric and hybrid vehicle sales, it is clear that Ford is positioning itself as a key player in the market. By expanding the availability of the Mustang Mach-E and other electric and hybrid models, Ford is catering to a growing segment of the market that is seeking sustainable and efficient transportation options.
Overall, the increase in Mustang Mach-E inventory released for sale in July is a positive sign for Ford and the electric vehicle market as a whole. With more options available to consumers, we can expect to see a shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles as the preferred choice for environmentally conscious drivers.
