In contrast to China, the US is still largely home to a gas and diesel consuming combustion engine car-loving demographic. California is home to nearly all of the EVs that roam US roads.
In 2022, the US sold 990,000 EVs and saw their EV stock rise to 3 million, nation-wide.
Normalizing rates by population by looking at the rate of EV adoption across the country’s entire car population puts the US at the back of the pack at 2.1% electrifiation rate.
Europe as a whole sits at 2.7%, while it’s leading nations like Norway take the #1 spot globally with a 27% electrification rate.
China’s electrification rate is more than double that of America’s at 4.9%.
The State of the Electric Vehicle Revolution 2023
Global electric vehicle (EV) stock has surpassed 30 million, and China is home to over half of all the EVs on the world’s roads. 1 in 7 new cars sold last year was electric, and by 2030, we will have 138 Million EVs.
