[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) The world doesn't need an EV Mustang or $99K F150, it needs an EV Focus or Escort oor Fiesta level car that normal people can afford. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago Which we won't get with Ford deciding instead to focus on hybrids. Instead, the Blue Oval wants to focus on making more hybrids instead and says it will have hybrid options for all its internal combustion engine-powered vehicles by 2030. Also, apparently, people quite like the EV Mustang. But with Mustang Mach-E sales up 77 percent to 9,589 sold, and a 148 percent growth for the E-Transit, Ford is the country's second-bestselling EV brand. permalink fedilink source parent
