Ford could limit new petrol models in Europe to increase its share of electric vehicle sales and avoid significant fines on manufacturers from this year.
Martin Sander, general manager at Ford Model e Europe, said the restriction on new petrol car availability by the UK's second most popular car brand would also likely push up prices for buyers.
It comes as car makers face a difficult task in meeting binding EV sale thresholds that step up from 2024 to the scheduled all-out ban on sales of new petrol and diesel passenger cars in 2035.
The latest vehicle sales data published this week show that public demand for EVs has dwindled in recent months, with just one in six electric cars registered in April purchased by private buyers.
