Part 1/6:
Record Electric Vehicle Sales in the U.S.
The narrative surrounding electric vehicle (EV) sales has often been misleading, particularly when interpreted through media reports. Contrary to the perception of a declining market, January 2025 marked a significant milestone as electric car sales hit a new record in the United States. For the first time, EV sales accounted for 8.8% of total car sales, with approximately 133,000 electric vehicles sold during the month.
This trend signals a notable shift in consumer behavior, demonstrating that nearly one in ten vehicles sold were fully electric. The brands making waves in this space are diverse, with Hyundai and Ford showing commendable sales growth, despite a notable decrease in Tesla's sales.
