Data from analytics firm Experian shows 9.1 million light vehicles were sold domestically between January and July. Of those, 655,986 were EVs, which works out to 7.2 percent. That’s a sizable increase over the same period in 2022, during which 4.9 percent of the vehicles sold were electric.It should come as no surprise that the overwhelming majority of EVs sold in the U.S.
in 2023 have been Teslas. Experian’s data shows that 390,377, or 59.5 percent, of the battery-powered vehicles registered in the U.S. during the first seven months of the year were built by the Elon Musk-fronted automaker. Tesla has dominated the EV market from the very beginning stateside and has also aggressively slashed prices throughout its lineup this year.
