The number of battery-powered electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids, surged in Colorado last year, accounting for more than one in 10 new vehicle registrations, according to aThe market share of battery-only powered vehicles in Colorado went from 4.8% of all new registrations in 2021 to 8.1% last year, representing 15,818 vehicles. Plug-in hybrids, which contain a smaller battery, rose from 1.7% of registrations to 2.4% of the total, or 4,660 vehicles.
Jackson said manufacturers introduced several more electric models, including more sports utility vehicles and trucks, which provided consumers with a greater variety of options. Anxiety about the number of miles electric vehicles can travel before needing a recharge also appears to be lessening as battery technology improves. And higher gasoline prices, which spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine, contributed to increased interest in alternatives.
Supply shortages, especially for chips vital to the manufacturing of modern cars and trucks, reduced the number of vehicles dealers could provide, resulting in a 13.3% reduction in new vehicle registrations last year in Colorado. That was below the 14.8% decline measured nationally.
