In conducting a recent long-term EV sales forecast, I identified that a potential 210 electric vehicle models (both BEV and PHEV) would be available in the US by the end of 2030. Another 20 or so, mostly PHEV models, would also be phased out by automakers in the latter half of this decade as they focus more on bringing BEVs to market.
According to estimates from the California Energy Commission (CEC), electric vehicles in California only consume 0.4% of grid demand during the peak hours of 4-9 pm.
California has now reached 4%, or four out of 100 vehicles on the road in California being BEV or PHEV.
Only on sale in the US since April, Ford’s F-150 Lightning BEV is on a pace for sales of at least 15,000 units in 2022. Based on its trailing 3-month average of 2,113, the electric version of the highest-selling vehicle in the world is on an annual pace for a very respectable 25,500 in unit sales.
