Ford Loses EV Lead to GM in Q3 as Growth Slows Despite Rise in EV Sales

Ford Motor lost its lead in electric vehicle sales to General Motors during the third quarter as its EV growth slowed. Ford reported a nearly 12% rise in EV sales compared to GM's 60% rise in the same period. Both automakers continue to trail Hyundai while Tesla maintains its market dominance. GM's growing EV lineup includes eight models, while Ford offers just three and focuses more on hybrid models.
