Ben benieuwd of de stijging van de lithium prijzen kan standhouden en dus mede de koers van AMG.
In China loopt de EV trein alsnog vertraging op voor TESLA : 2 mogelijkheden.
Tesla krijgt een klap van ruim 7 procent na een teleurstellend aantal leveringen vanuit zijn Chinese fabriek. Tesla leverde in februari 30.365 auto's af, 19 procent minder dan vorig jaar. Sinds het jaarbegin verloor Tesla al bijna een kwart van zijn beurswaarde.
1e : de vraag neemt af.
2e : concurrentie neemt marktaandeel.
Waarbij stelling 2 positiever is dan stelling 1 in de veronderstelling dat de concurrentie naast het afsnoepen van marktaandeel ook meer verkoop realiseert zodat de stellingen geen communiceerde vaten zijn.
FORD heeft ook veel meer verkocht in de maand februari maar het merendeel was nog gewoon ICE wagens gevold door HYBRIDE en dan pas EV, waarbij de focus op korte termijn naar HYBRID zal gaan.
DETROIT – Ford Motor’s
U.S. sales jumped 10.5% last month compared with February 2023, led by increases in its hybrid and all-electric vehicles sales.
The Detroit automaker Monday reported sales of 174,192 cars and trucks for February. The results included an 81% jump in EV sales and roughly 32% uptick in hybrid models. Sales of traditional internal combustion engines also increased, up 7.5% from the same month a year earlier.
The spike in hybrid sales is part of Ford’s plan to double down on the technology. The company said hybrid sales totaled 12,045 in February, including 6,463 units of its small Maverick Hybrid pickup.
Sales of EVs for Ford have fluctuated month to month based on demand and pricing. Sales of Ford’s all-electric vehicles last month were up across the board, including a 64.3% increase in its Mustang Mach-E crossover and a nearly doubling in sales of the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup.
Despite the increases in hybrids and EVs, 89.5% of Ford’s sales last month were traditional cars and trucks in February.
Sales of Ford’s highly profitable F-Series pickups fell by 5.8% last month to 51,829 units. Shipments of new 2024 models of the pickup were delayed due to an undisclosed quality issue, Automotive News reported last month.
Amid quality and warranty issues, Ford CEO Jim Farley has instituted more stringent testing and quality checks during new vehicle launches.
Ford reported total year-to-date sales through February were 311,325 units, a 6.6% increase compared with the same time period a year earlier.
Ford on Monday reported a continued surge in monthly hybrid sales, the latest indication that its strategic shift from money-losing and demand-softening electric vehicles is paying off.
