“The regulation includes ground-breaking strategies to bring ZEVs to more communities and is supported by the Governor’s ZEV budget which provides incentives to make ZEVs available to the widest number of economic groups in California, including low- and moderate-income consumers.” Rapidly accelerating the number of ZEVs on our roads and highways will deliver substantial emission and pollution reductions to all Californians, especially for those who live near roadways and suffer from persistent air pollution,” said CARB Chair Liane Randolph. “Once again California is leading the nation and the world with a regulation that sets ambitious but achievable targets for ZEV sales. The regulation realizes and codifies the light-duty vehicle goals set out in Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-79-20. The rule establishes a year-by-year roadmap so that by 2035 100% of new cars and light trucks sold in California will be zero-emission vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. If you include all cars that come with a plug, he found, Americans are already buying a million EVs every nine months - something we’ll surely hear more about once third-quarter figures are tabulated.SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board today approved the trailblazing Advanced Clean Cars II rule that sets California on a path to rapidly growing the zero-emission car, pickup truck and SUV market and deliver cleaner air and massive reductions in climate-warming pollution. Last week BloombergNEF analyst Corey Cantor looked at a similar 1 million EV milestone that included plug-in hybrids. Tesla, however, is still very much in the driver’s seat, responsible for 61% of EVs ever sold in the US. That’s starting to happen geographically, with California losing some of its US EV share to states like Texas, Florida, Washington and New Jersey. Tesla recently dethroned Toyota as the top-selling vehicle brand, electric or otherwise, in the state.įor EVs to become truly mainstream across the US, and for the Detroit auto industry to survive the transition, markets need to branch out. California was the first top-10 global auto market to reach the crucial EV tipping point of 5% of new car sales. The story of US electric vehicle adoption has so far been the tale of two dominant actors: the state of California and Tesla Inc. The period also coincided with the start of the pandemic.
That’s when Tesla temporarily exported a significant share of its American-made Model 3 inventory to kick off overseas sales. The only time 12-month EV sales have declined was a brief stretch beginning the third quarter of 2019. It smooths out seasonal fluctuations that can disguise longer-term trends. For this approach, each new calendar quarter shows the year of EV purchases leading up to that point. It took 10 years for the US to sell its first million fully electric vehicles, two years to reach the second million, and just over a year to reach the third. By the time the latest quarter’s figures are tallied up over the next month, the country should be well on its way to a fourth.Īnother way to look at the yearly pace of EV purchases is to use 12-month rolling sales, which reveal surprising progress. In the 12 months through June, Americans bought 977,445 cars that run solely on electricity, according to a Bloomberg Green analysis. Their share of new cars exceeded 7% for the first half of the year, speeding past a critical tipping point for mass adoption. In the last few months, all-time sales topped 3 million.īut perhaps the most impressive of all is reaching a record-hot pace of almost 1 million new EVs per year. (Bloomberg) - Electric cars are smashing all kinds of records in the US.
