Major decreases are observed in automobile sales worldwide. Especially due to the chip crisis and problems in the supply chain, factories stop their production and many automobile production is reduced.
Although automobile sales seem to decrease, the situation in electric cars is not quite like that. Electric car sales increased substantially in 2021. According to published reports, electric car sales have a large share in the market.
Electric car sales increased dramatically in the USA!
The USA is among the markets where internal combustion engine vehicles are sold the most. Especially in the market where large vehicles are sold a lot, the demand for electric cars was less than in other markets until today. According to the report published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), electric car sales increased significantly in the 4th quarter of 2021.
According to published reports, electric car sales reached approximately 11 percent of total sales in the 4th quarter of 2021. All-electric cars accounted for 3.4 percent of total sales in the fourth quarter, plug-in hybrids 1.4 percent and hybrid cars 6.1 percent. In this way, electric car sales reach 10.9 percent of total sales.
Looking at these numbers, we see that these sales are the highest since the Model 3 was launched. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated that the problems experienced in the production of vehicles with internal combustion engines led to this situation.
When we look at the report, we see that electric car sales constitute 1.8 percent of total sales in 2020. This shows that we are approaching the end of the process of getting used to electric cars and electric cars are considered normal.
According to published reports, electric sales are mostly in SUV models. The demand for Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 models confirms this situation. So what are your thoughts?
