Ford Could Sell 500,000 EVs Per Year In USA With Tesla Supercharging Access
Before continuing on this topic, I’ll just say again that in order to sell a lot more electric vehicles a year, Ford has to line up the battery supplies and ramp up the manufacturing capacity. As long as it doesn’t do that, it won’t get many of the benefits Tesla has earned and it won’t of course sell a million EVs a year. However, if it put in that effort, with this new partnership, I think Ford could easily sell half a million EVs a year in the States.
Initially, I put “1 million” in the title, and I think that is indeed possible. However, to be a bit more conservative and realistic about the near term, I dropped that to about a quarter of Ford’s sales, or half a million. The company has an attractive, capable, competitively priced electric crossover or SUV on offer and an electric pickup truck . With good options in these extremely popular segments, Ford could certainly climb close to the combined success of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
Ford has had an issue with large markups on its electric vehicles at dealers as demand has far outstripped supply. With Supercharger access coming, expect that problem to resurface. I know people in my own life who would seriously consider a Ford EV with this much better charging access, my own family included.Naturally, this is not a scientific endeavor, and all forecasting is based to some extent on assumptions that are simply guesses.
