Quarterly data on vehicle registration by fuel type, vehicle type and number of vehicles, Canada, the provinces, census metropolitan areas and census sub-divisions.
The number of battery electric vehicles sold in the United States came to about *** millions in 2024, with sales of Tesla models accounting for around **** percent of that figure. Second-ranked Ford accounted for only *** percent of U.S. battery electric vehicle sales. Tesla puts electric vehicle sales in the fast lane The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling all-electric car in the United States in 2024, with the Model 3 a strong runner-up. Tesla enjoyed a successful year in 2024, with sales in the United States generating revenues of around **** billion U.S. dollars. Tesla’s sales performance in 2024 not only strengthened its position as one of the market leaders in the EV market, but it also made an impression on the overall automotive market in the United States. 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.
