Detroit, MI - ford Motor Company announced an 8.2% increase in third-quarter sales on Wednesday, fueled by strong demand for its electric vehicles (EVs) adn sport utility vehicles (SUVs).The results come as federal EV incentives are set to expire, perhaps impacting future sales.
Key Sales Figures for Q3 2025
Ford’s overall sales rose by 8.2% in the third quarter. Sales of all-electric vehicles surged by 30.2% to a new quarterly record of over 30,600 units. “Electrified” vehicles - encompassing both EVs and hybrids – saw a 20% increase compared to the same period last year.
SUVs were also a strong performer, with sales increasing nearly 10% during the quarter. The Mustang Mach-E EV specifically experienced a 51% year-over-year increase in sales.
Impact of Federal EV Incentives
the surge in EV sales during the third quarter is largely attributed to buyers accelerating their purchases to take advantage of federal EV incentives of up to $7,500, which ended in September. Ford CEO Jim Farley acknowledged this trend, stating he anticipates a potential drop in EV sales as the incentives expire.
Farley predicted that the EV market share, currently around 10% to 12%, could fall to 5% after the incentive programme concludes. This expectation was voiced on Tuesday, October 1, 2025, following a record-breaking month for EV sales.
Looking Ahead: Ford’s EV Strategy
While the end of federal incentives poses a short-term challenge, Ford continues to invest heavily in its EV lineup. The company is focused on expanding production capacity and developing new EV models to meet growing consumer demand. Jim Farley has emphasized the importance of affordability and accessibility in driving long-term EV adoption.
