In the video below, Jose Pontes, Larry Evans, Steve Hanley, and I discuss the US electric vehicle market, EV policies in the country, and what we expect for EV share of the US auto market in 2026 and in 2030. Naturally, this includes talk about Tesla, politics, and what legacy … [continued]
When it comes to the US electric vehicle market, I thoroughly cover and analyze the sales of fully electric vehicles (aka BEVs). However, I don’t typically touch plugin hybrids. Frankly, automakers don’t break out plugin hybrid data from conventional gas-powered vehicle data when plugin hybrids share a model name — … [continued]
Covering cleantech here at CleanTechnica, the core underlying point is to replace fossil-fueled technology with zero-emissions technology that won’t cook our planet. When it comes to electric vehicles, the aim is not just to sell more EVs, but to also sell fewer fossil-fueled vehicles. With record high EV sales in … [continued]
The US electric car market is at an interesting point. We’ve looked at the market as a whole, the top selling brands and auto groups, and the long-term trends of 7 top electric models. However, in that latter piece, we left out the electric giant of the US auto world, … [continued]
Following our quarterly report on US electric vehicle sales overall and broken down by model, let’s now get to the breakdown by brand and auto group. Instead of just looking at the 3rd quarter, though, I will compare quarter over quarter and year over year, since the most interesting thing … [continued]
As we all know, the US electric vehicle market had a great 3rd quarter due to the EV tax credit being given a death sentence and people rushing to buy EVs before October 1 arrive, but how good was the quarter? And which models benefited the most? And which models … [continued]
There will be no surprise here. People in the US rushed to buy electric cars in the 3rd quarter before the $7,500 US EV tax credit was disappeared, and that means there were a lot fewer people on the market to buy an electric car in October. That’s just how … [continued]
The much-anticipated downward slide in US electric vehicle sales is well underway, now that 30 days have passed since the premature demise of the federal EV tax credit. Nevertheless, some analysts already anticipate that sales will pick up again by 2030, and stakeholders in the EV charging station field are … [continued]
I spent much of the week writing about how much EV sales growth several automakers scored in the 3rd quarter in the US. As a short recap, year over year: Audi EV sales grew 232% Volkswagen EV sales grew 231% Cadillac EV sales grew 146% Hyundai EV sales grew 103% … [continued]
I’d love to see Rivian do well, and its sales year over year were indeed up 31.8% in the 3rd quarter. However, that’s not really a huge jump compared to other auto brands*. The company delivered 13,201 vehicles, and produced 10,720. While that’s apparently what Rivian was targeting, the bad … [continued]
