Tesla leads! U.S. electric vehicle registrations increased by 95% from January to April
Although electric vehicles now account for only a small part of the total global car sales, the global adoption of electric vehicles is significantly accelerating. According to foreign media reports, this is obvious in the first four months of 2021 in the United States. Compared with the same period in 2020, the number of electric vehicle registrations in the country has increased by 95%.
According to a new report by Experian, from January to April 2021, the total number of new car registrations in the United States was 36% higher than the same period last year. Part of the reason is as the country’s economy recovers from the epidemic.
According to a MarketWatch report, in the first quarter of 2021, electric vehicles still accounted for only 2.3% of the US market, but during this period, the rate of customers registering new electric vehicles was three times that of other types of new vehicles. Tesla remains the dominant player in this category, with 71% of new electric vehicles registered in the United States being the company’s cars.
Two main models are among the best among competitors: Tesla Model Y has 53,102 new registrations, and Model 3 has 35,468 registrations. Followed by Chevrolet Bolt with 13,611 registrations, Ford Mustang Mach-E with 6,104 registrations, and Nissan Leaf with 5,023 registrations. In addition, the top 10 most registered electric vehicles in the United States are Audi e-tron (4321 vehicles), Porsche Taycan (3002 vehicles), Hyundai Kona (2192 vehicles), Tesla Model X (1730 vehicles) and Tesla Model S (1633 vehicles).
From the perspective of each region, in the first quarter of 2021, Golden State accounted for 38% of new electric vehicle registrations, while Florida accounted for 7.2%. Texas has not yet allowed Tesla to sell its cars directly to customers. The state accounted for 5.9% of electric car registrations in the first quarter of 2021.
