A recent report by Ford reveals that approximately half of all Ford dealerships in the United States have opted not to sell electric vehicles by 2024.
These dealerships will also forego the expense of training and acquiring equipment related to electric vehicles, regardless of any requirements. Consequently, Americans will have limited access to Ford electric vehicles in the near future.
At the end of 2022, a Ford report indicated that approximately 65% of registered Ford electric vehicle dealerships (equivalent to around 1,920 dealerships) proceeded with the process, despite each facility having to spend $500,000 annually for training and equipment purchases.
For unknown reasons, after just one year, approximately 400 dealerships have decided to cancel their plans to sell electric vehicles. Currently, the company confirms that approximately 1,550 dealerships remain registered to sell the Model E, representing only half of the total number of Ford dealerships nationwide.
Dealerships that choose not to register for selling electric vehicles will not only be unable to sell the Model E, but they also won’t have the necessary on-site equipment or receive the training required to service electric vehicles.
A representative of the American car company believes that the decision of dealerships not to sell electric vehicles is a natural one since they possess a deep understanding of their respective markets.
Even if only approximately 50% of dealerships decide to distribute electric vehicles by 2024, a substantial 84% of the US population will still reside within a 20-mile radius of these dealerships. Hence, the overall accessibility of the market will not be significantly affected.
