- Mustang Mach-E sales fell 60.4% year-over-year, from 11,607 to 4,600 units, with the loss of the $7,500 tax credit cited as a potential factor.
- F-150 Lightning deliveries decreased by 71.3%, from 7,187 in Q1 2025 to 2,060 in Q1 2026, leading to its discontinuation.
- Ford E-Transit sales saw a staggering 94.7% drop, from 3,756 to just 200 units in the first quarter of 2026.
