Recently, it is reveals that electric car sales reach up to 18% of new car sales in California. The same has numbers are accountable for 6% as compared to the total sales of the United States respectively.
On the other hand, EV naysayers allegedly say that subsidies are essential to keep alive electric vehicles. While the two essential things on which the US EV market relies mostly are California and Tesla. Whereas the second one had no access to federal EV subsidies for so many years.
On the other hand, Tesla owns approx two-thirds of the all-electric car market in the US. Therefore, in the absence of Texas-based automakers, EV sales in the country would be extremely on the lower side. It also indicates that the US market is fragmented on the very higher node.
California’s office of Governor report
Additionally, California’s office of the Governor also issued a report that depicts the progress of the state’s electric vehicle market. As per the same report, approx 18% of all new cars sold in the state are electric.
However, when this sales figure seems unimpressive when compared to it to a market like Norway, whose sales ratio is already 80%. But at the same, 18% is impressive in America. While Electric vehicles account for tentatively only 6% of new car sales in the whole country. Also, the same number would also be significantly lower without California. Since the 576,000 EVs are sold in the US as of now in 2022, over 250,000 were in California.
Charging infrastructure issues
Another fact is that Tesla doing well outside of California but the automaker benefits from a strong supercharger network. While the non-Tesla EVs still facing charging infrastructure issues.
Moreover, the good news is that there are a lot of investments in order to expand EV charging in the US. Concurrently, it might take a little more time to feel the change.
