In every year since Mach-E sales rose while Mustang sales dipped until last year when Mach-E sales trumped the sales of its gas counterpart under the same nameplate.

Why It Matters: Ford's Mach-E is one of Ford's three EVs sold in the U.S. besides the F-150 Lightning pickup truck and the E-transit electric van.

Last year, Ford sold 97,865 electric vehicles, accounting for merely 4.7% of its overall vehicle sales in the year.

A majority of Ford's sales include combustion engine vehicles and the company has a long lineup of gas-powered vehicles besides its best-selling F-series truck or its Explorer SUV.
