Ford Motor Co.’s Lincoln luxury line is accelerating its electric vehicle strategy and plans to offer plug-ins throughout its lineup by 2030 -- but the automaker is also hedging its bets by keeping gas-burners in the showroom.
Lincoln will introduce its first all-electric model next year. By 2026, it expects half of its global volume to be gas-electric hybrids and vehicles that run only on batteries, with the selection ramping up from there. The remainder will be gasoline-only vehicles.
