The Ford Mustang Mach-E is picking up speed.
Ford announced today that Mustang Mach-E, its first global pioneering SUV built on an all-new, all-electric platform, will be manufactured in China by Changan Ford for local customers.
Sales of the all-electric utility vehicle increased from 238 in January to 3,739 in February as increased supplies started reaching dealers.
Ford hasn't said how many Mustang Mach-Es it expects to deliver in 2021, but based on recent trends it was likely the third-best-selling electric car in the U.S. last month behind the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in February.
Tesla does not break out U.S. sales and many automakers now follow a quarterly reporting schedule.
