"US electric vehicle sales are gathering pace, hitting the 4mn mark at the end
of June, according to data and analysis from consultancy Atlas Public Policy.
The sales are being driven by a combination of price cuts at Tesla and Ford
this year, tax credits worth up to $7,500 for consumers and greater
manufacturing capacity, experts say.
“There’s no doubt that the pie for EVs is getting bigger,” said Atlas founder
Nick Nigro.
“More people that were buying combustion engines are buying EVs . . . Tesla’s
sales are growing, but everybody’s sales are growing, and that’s the sign of a
strong market.”
It took nearly eight years to sell the first 1mn battery-powered cars, trucks
and vans in the US, a milestone hit in 2018. The 2mn mark took roughly 32
months, and the third million took approximately 15 months. The accelerating
pace brought the 4 millionth sale after just 10 months.
Tesla, General Motors and Rivian all reported strong US sales and deliveries
for EVs during the second quarter, as did BYD in China. EV sales declined 2 per
cent at Ford in the second quarter versus a year earlier, but they were still
up 12 per cent in the first half of the year compared to 2022."
