Deep dives
EV Sales Growth
Electric vehicle (EV) sales have significantly outpaced the overall automotive market, with recent data showing a 3.1% increase in new EV registrations in June, totaling over 108,000 vehicles. This growth contrasts sharply with the overall market that saw an 8.8% decline. Tesla continues to lead the market by a substantial margin, selling nearly ten times more vehicles than its closest competitor, Ford. The rise in EV sales can be attributed to various incentive programs that have helped lower the prices for consumers, making electric options more appealing.
