Ford CEO Jim Farley warns that U.S. EV sales could drop by half following the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit, citing high vehicle costs and reduced consumer demand. Ford is shifting focus to hybrids and more affordable EVs, while some dealers see the change as a chance to test market strength without subsidies. The industry faces uncertainty as it adapts to a post-incentive landscape.
