Ford has published its June sales report, and it revealed an impressive 117% jump in overall electrified vehicle sales. Note, however, that this includes hybrids. And the company’s electrified vehicles just have a share of 5.7% of Ford’s sales in the first half of the year. Most notably among those … [continued]
Tallying up US auto sales for Q1 2021 at long last, I was only slightly curious to see how they compared to Q1 2020 (and perhaps that’s why it took me so long). Clearly, with the US in lockdown for part of Q1 2020, it was just a poor quarter … [continued]
