This year will be the first time more than 1 million EVs are sold in the U.S. in one calendar year, probably reaching between 1.3 million and 1.4 million cars. Although the numbers show significant progress in electrification, the nation is lagging behind countries like China, Germany, and Norway. EVs reached 33% of sales in China, 35% in Germany, and 90% in Norway for the first six months of 2023.
