While sales of EVs have grown in the U.S., they lag far behind the rest of the world. But the landscape is changing.
Electric vehicle sales in the United States is an interesting subject. Despite having well over 200 million licensed drivers, the number of those drivers that purchase electric vehicles is well below that of many countries worldwide.
The automobile market varies greatly from place to place within the U.S. itself. Californians buy more EVs than drivers in any other state, which also extends to plug-in hybrid and hybrid sales numbers. Market share for electric vehicles tends to be strongest in metropolitan areas, but the numbers drop sharply in less densely populated rural areas.
Charging infrastructure is a major player in the battle to increase EV adoption in the United States.Rather than a gas tank and liquid fuel, electric vehicles use battery packs to store energy for their propulsion system. This means that an EV driver must find a charging station when their vehicle's driving range becomes low, which can be a real challenge in rural areas or places with fewer drivers in general.
