The story within California borders during the 2019 through 2020 period is the return of the sales for regular hybrids and a slight decline in sales share of PHEVs. The latter is due to GM discontinuing the popular Chevrolet Volt PHEV and the increase in BEV sales driven by the Tesla Model 3 and now Model Y. We expect regular hybrids to continue increasing for several more years as Toyota and Honda in particular launch hybrid versions of all of their top-selling vehicles.
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.
