Toyota Motor Corp. reached the 200,000 electric vehicles sold in the US in Q2 2022, and next up as we’ve long forecasted is Ford Motor Co. Ford only needs to sell roughly 11,500 EVs in Q3 to reach the federal EV tax credit phaseout threshold.
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.
Updating our EVAdoption EV model database with these GM models, as many as 15 BEVs could be Plug and Charge capable by the end of 2022.
With more than 48,000 public Level 2 ports (chargers) deployed in the US, ChargePoint owns a dominant share of the market accounting for 50.2% of total Level 2 chargers, as of June 15, 2022 according to EVAdoption analysis of data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC).
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.
Across the 2,193 Electrify America “corridor/market” DC fast chargers located throughout the US (but excluding California sites), 1,527 or 69.6% of the total at the end of 2021 were 150 kW chargers, according to analysis of the April 30, 2022 Electrify America 2021 Report to the US EPA by EVAdoption.
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.
Across the BEVs currently available (or that will be in the next few months) in the US, they average (mean) 82.8 kWh and the median battery size is 78 kWh. For PHEVs, the mean battery size is 14.9 kWh and median is 14 kWh and mean range is 28.4 miles (EPA) of range versus 285.4 miles of range for BEVs.
The average EPA electric range of the 37 PHEVs currently available in the US is now 28.4 miles while the median is 26 miles.
