Lincoln has been Ford's luxury brand for almost exactly a century now—the Blue Oval bought the Lincoln Motor Company from Henry Leland on February 4, 1922. Now the brand is getting ready for its next century with a raft of new battery-electric SUVs due between now and 2026, according to Reuters.
Last June, Lincoln announced that it would become a fully battery-electric brand by 2030. It's a no-brainer for the automaker, given how well electric motors—with instantaneous torque and near-silent operation—are suited to luxury vehicles.
At the time, Lincoln announced that its first fully electric model would arrive in 2022, in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations. Although we haven't seen any renderings or spy shots of this first Lincoln battery EV, Occam's razor suggests it will be built on the same platform as Ford's Mustang Mach-E crossover.
