How big is the electric car industry?

I’ve been thinking about buying an electric car to become more eco-friendly, but I wonder if electric cars are here to stay or if they’re just a passing fad. I hear about them all the time, but I wonder how common they actually are, and how much the industry is expected to grow. How big is the electric car industry?

While the
electric car
industry may be relatively small, now is a great time to get in on the ground floor of a growing industry. As of 2022, less than 1% of the 250 million cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks on the road in the United States are electric, but those numbers are due to change exponentially.
According to industry analysis, by 2035 approximately 45% of new car sales could be electric, with about half the cars on the road being electric by 2050.
