While final US EV sales for 2020 are not yet available (there is no official source as in many European countries), I’m estimating that the EV sales share of new vehicles reached 2.35%. My forecast from a few months ago of 345,285 would be an 8% YOY increase an especially impressive during a pandemic year when overall new vehicle sales only reached an estimated 14,665,787.
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.
