Meanwhile, sales of America’s top-selling electric commercial van, the E-Transit, totaled 654 for the month and 5,811 for the year, representing 80 percent of the electric van segment.
Ford’s share of the electric vehicle segment expanded about 2 percentage points over a year ago – standing at 8.6 percent share for the month of November.
With just one month left in the year, Ford F-Series is on track to take the overall truck crown again in 2022. F-Series expanded its lead as America’s best-selling truck over its second-place competitor to 117,415 trucks through November.

Wake Up Americans!!
The Ford E-Transit van (Elect) only has a 126 mile range. Another thing that hit me this week when it was pouring. Was that if you need to recharge you electric vehicle and it’s raining, snowing or blizzard winds are blowing. The electric charging stations have no roofs or cover to protect. Most gas stations do have a roof covering and only take at most 10 minutes to fill up.
Wasted space, how many EV trucks are on the market? Ford naturally is going to be the best seller, DUH, other than Rivian and Hummer which is priced higher than a cats back what else is there?
