Ford extends EV promotion after F-150 Lightning, Mach-E set new sales records in 2024

Entertainment

After its best EV sales quarter ever in the fourth quarter, Ford is extending its “Power Promise” program, which includes a free home charger. Ford looks to keep the momentum going this year after the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E set new sales records in 2024.

Ford set a new EV sales record in Q4 and 2024

Ford’s total US sales rose 8.8% in the fourth quarter, with 530,660 vehicles sold. The growth helped push Ford’s full-year 2024 sales to over 2.07 million, up 4.2% from 2023, double the estimated industry average (2%).

The growth was primarily thanks to higher electrified vehicle sales, including EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs. Ford sold nearly 285,600 electrified vehicles in 2024 (+38% YOY), which the company claims is more than cross-town rivals GM and Stellantis.

Ford’s fully electric vehicles, the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and E-Transit, all set new sales records last year. The company sold a record 30,176 EVs in the fourth quarter (+16% YOY) for a total of 97,865 (+34.8% YOY) in 2024.

With 16,119 units sold in Q4 2024, Ford’s Mach-E had its best sales quarter so far. The Mach-E was the second-best-selling electric SUV in the US in 2024, behind Tesla’s Model Y, with 51,745 units sold (+27% YOY).

Although F-150 Lightning sales slipped 10% in Q4 with just 10,703 models sold, Ford sold over 33,500 electric pickups in 2024, up 38% from the prior year.

Meanwhile, Ford’s EV E-Transit van continued seeing higher demand, with sales surging 64% in 2024. Ford sold over 12,600 E-Transit vans last year.

After seeing EV sales pick up in Q4 2024, Ford is extending its “Power Promise” promotion. Launched in October, the program provides all new EV buyers with a free Level 2 home charger, and Ford covers the cost of standard installation.

Ford wants buyers to realize the true benefits of driving an EV, like waking up with a full charge every morning. Other benefits of the program include an 8-year, 100,000-battery warranty, 24/7 live support, and roadside assistance.

Electrek’s Take

Like most, Ford is offering significant incentives on electric models. The discounts and promotions fueled a record sales quarter in Q4, but with a new wave of EVs hitting the market in 2025, will Ford be able to continue the momentum?

Ford delayed its three-row electric SUV, opening the door for rivals like Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Rivian, and others to take advantage.

Hyundai and Kia set new US sales records in 2024 and expect even more demand this year with new EVs and US production ramping. Hyundai opened its massive new EV plant in Georgia late last year and is building new models like the upgraded 2025 IONIQ 5 and three-row IONIQ 9. New EVs built at the facility now qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit for the first time.

Kia credited the successful launch of its three-row EV9 SUV as a big reason behind its success. After delivering the first models in late 2023, Kia sold over 22,000 EV9s last year. Kia is building the EV9 at its West Point, GA plant, enabling it to also qualify for the $7,500 credit.

With other EVs gaining momentum, like the Chevy Equinox EV and Honda Prologue, can Ford keep pace in 2025? Let us know your thoughts below.
