The RAV4 SUV, which has been the 4th-best selling vehicle in America for several years, saw the regular hybrid version account for 42% of RAV4 sales in the 1H of 2022. And if you include the RAV4 Prime PHEV numbers, you get to 48% of RAV4 sales having a battery in the vehicle.
For the period 2011 through Q1 2022, PHEVs accounted for 33.7% of total cumulative EV sales in the US. In Q1 2022, however, PHEV sales accounted for only 21.4% of EV sales.
US sales of the 29 EV models for which OEMs reported sales publicly had a combined 45% increase in Q2 over Q1. Sixteen BEVs and PHEVs had positive growth in Q2, while 10 models saw declines in Q2, although three of those models have been discontinued.
Only a few automakers report US sales each month, but comparing crossovers from Ford, Hyundai, and Kia through May and it looks like the Mustang Mach-E should outsell the IONIQ 5 and EV 6. So far the three BEVs are only separated by an average of about 1,000 units per month.
EVAdoption forecast sales of the F-150 Lightning based on Ford’s 80,000 production target for 2022, recent and expected Transit-E and Mach-E sales, plus the PHEV sales to arrive at 223,258 cumulative sales through Q3 2022.
Despite a number of new BEVs and PHEVs being introduced by other automakers, Tesla continues to dominates EV sales in California accounting for 65.3% of BEV and PHEV registrations in Q1 2022 (January 1 – March 31, 2022), according to analysis by EVAdoption from California Energy Commission (2022) data.
Over the 12-year period of 2010-2021, five different BEVs and PHEVs have held the title of being the number one EV in California as ranked by registrations.
58% of US EV sales in 2021 were models from Tesla and GM — which were ineligible for the federal EV tax credit due to reaching the 200,000 manufacturer cap a few years ago.
(PHEV) Prime versions. With the RAV4 ranking as the 4th-best-selling vehicle in the US since 2017, this sales percentage of “electrified” versions is a significant trend and milestone.
The state of New Jersey, which as as of September 31, 2021 had the 6th most cumulative EVs in the US, had the highest ratio of EVs to charger ports at 41.3 to 1. In a distant second place, California with 930,811 cumulative EVs, had a ratio of 27.2 to 1 charger port.
