Roughly 1% of all the cars in the U.S. are electric. This number does not account for plug-in and hybrid vehicles. It might not sound very impressive, but in a country with 275,912,237 registered vehicles, 1% is over 2.7 million EVs.
Looking at the
electric car market for 2022
, new electric car sales are expected to jump from 3% to 5%. Electric car manufacturers are working overtime to build electric cars that do more than compete with gas-fueled classics. Better prices, more range, more connectivity, and incentives seem to increase the attractiveness of electric vehicles to consumers.
