The fourth quarter of 2024 also recorded a hike in sales compared to the third quarter of that same year, making it the best quarter for BEV sales in the country across the past two years. Global EV Race - Where does the U.S. stand? Over the last few years, consumers have perceived Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a far more appealing option due to their increased range, battery life, variety of models, and affordability. Therefore, the EV market has grown fast in recent years and is forecast to expand to *** trillion U.S. dollars in 2029. Though the global demand for electric cars has been escalating, American sales lag behind Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions. In 2023, Chinese customers bought around *** million plug-in EVs, considerably more than American customers' purchases,around *** million that year. China is the leader of the global EV race, with a substantial ** percent growth in sales year-on-year in 2023. However, given the market share of electric vehicles in the global automotive industry, this still can be anyone's race. Outlook of the U.S. market There is still a lack of interest in electric vehicles among American buyers compared to European and Asian consumers. In the first quarter of 2021, the share of the battery electric vehicle was **** percentage points more in Norway than in the U.S.. One of the main reasons is that American consumers still anticipate that EVs are more expensive than gasoline vehicles and diesel internal combustion engine cars (ICE). This perception is partially true in the U.S. since the battery production market is highly concentrated in Asia, where the companies have logistical advantages, leading automotive makers to offer better prices. On the other hand, high licensing fees for electric vehicles are another factor affecting the consumption behaviors of automobile purchasers. In many states, the licensing fees for electric cars are considerably higher than their ICE counterparts. EV licensing fees were around *** U.S. dollars compared to ** U.S. dollars for standard vehicles in Georgia in 2021. Together, these factors significantly impact the individual perception of electric cars in the United States.

Plug-in light vehicle (PEV) sales reached nearly *** million units in the United States in 2023. U.S. sales of all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles peaked that year, after a first increase in 2018 as deliveries of Tesla's Model 3 picked up steam. The road to consumer adoption While the sale of electric vehicles has picked up steam in the United States, consumer purchase intentions are still below traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Some ** percent of U.S. consumers considered purchasing a fully electric vehicle when buying a car, according to the Statista Consumer Insights survey, compared to ** percent of consumers considering purchasing a regular gasoline vehicle when buying a car. The time required to charge a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) was U.S. consumers' main concern as of October 2023, followed by BEVs' driving range and their cost or price premium. In an attempt to boost electric vehicle adoption, the U.S. government has allocated financial incentives for the purchase of such vehicles.
New players and market leaders Tesla dominated the U.S. electric vehicle market in 2023, selling over half a million BEVs in the country that year. Ford and Chevrolet completed the top three, making the three best-selling BEV brands in the United States all domestic manufacturers. This success has attracted electric vehicle startups such as Lucid Motors, which produced the battery-electric vehicle with the longest driving range as of Model Year 2022, and Rivian. However, these companies are yet to be profitable, reporting net losses during the 2020, 2021, and 2022 fiscal years.

Positive news regarding battery charge time One of the main talking points regarding battery electric vehicles is the time it takes to charge them. The number of publicly available fast chargers is increasing across the United States, and these are proving essential for vehicle users who wish to drive long distances. Vehicles equipped with a fast-charging socket can be charged much quicker because fast chargers provide power directly to the battery, without the need for an in-car inverter. A vehicle with a battery capacity of 75 kWh can, for example, be charged to a suitable level in around one hour using a quick charger delivering 50 kW of power.

The North American automotive high-performance electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing explosive growth, fueled by increasing consumer demand for sustainable, high-performance vehicles and supportive government policies.

In 2023, some ******* battery-electric vehicles were sold in California, representing some **** percent of the total electric vehicle sales in the state that year. As technological advances led to an increase in available BEV models with a wider driving range, the sales volume for this EV segment has been steadily rising since 2013, when it recorded under ****** sales. The leading electric vehicle state in the U.S. For every ***** people in California, there were nearly ** electric cars, making it the U.S. state with the highest ratio of EVs per population, over ** EVs over the ratio recorded for the second in the ranking. The fast pace of the Californian EV market comes perhaps as no surprise, as the Golden State is also the largest car market across propulsion types in the United States. The battery-electric vehicle fleet in California has steadily risen since 2010. Comparatively, the gasoline-powered light-duty vehicle fleet fluctuated in the past years, dropping between 2021 and 2023. An expanding charging infrastructure To meet the charging demand of a growing electric vehicle fleet, California relies on its EV charging network. As of the fourth quarter of 2023, there were around *** electric vehicle supply equipment ports per 100 EVs in the state, a ratio far below the one recorded in most other states, partly due to the size of California's EV fleet. California's charging infrastructure further faces the same issue recorded on a global level: The largest share of its public and shared private network consisted of Level 2 chargers, which are alternating current (AC) chargers. AC chargers, in contrast to their direct current counterparts, tend to have longer charging times, which impact consumers' EV adoption. However, the Golden State is committed to expanding its infrastructure: California was the second state to receive the largest grants from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program in 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Tesla Model Y was the best-selling battery-electric vehicle in the United States, soaring in sales since the fourth quarter of 2020.
