Ford's Trading Volume Hits $1.35 Billion Ranking 48th Amidst EV Sales Slump

On June 5, 2025, Ford's trading volume reached $1.35 billion, ranking 48th in the day's stock market. Ford's stock price fell by 1.37%.

Ford's U.S. sales in May were robust, but the sales of its flagship electric vehicle, the F-150 Lightning, experienced a significant decline. This drop in EV sales raises concerns about Ford's future in the electric vehicle market, as EVs are widely seen as the future of the automotive industry.

Ford's F-150 Lightning, a crucial model in its EV portfolio, saw a 41.7% decrease in sales, totaling 1,902 units compared to May 2024. This decline was partially offset by strong sales in other segments, including hybrids and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, which contributed to the company's overall sales surge.

Ford's electric sales for May were mixed. While the Mustang Mach-E electric crossover maintained relatively steady sales, the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit van saw a 25% year-over-year decrease. This trend highlights the challenges Ford faces in the EV market, where consumer interest in electric pickups has not met initial expectations.

Ford's 2024 EV sales increased by 50% to 220,000 units, driven by models like the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E. Despite this growth, the company continues to navigate financial challenges, including recalls and the need to adapt to changing consumer preferences in the EV market.
