California Sees Huge Surge in Electric Car Sales – What’s Driving the Trend?

globalautonews Views  

Sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in California, USA, increased by 20.5% in the first quarter, 21.8% in the second quarter, and 22.3% in the third quarter. The third-quarter performance is three times the national market share of 7.9%. This is a significant increase compared to 9% in 2021 and 17% in 2022.

The market share of internal combustion engine vehicles decreased from 71.6% in 2022 to 64.6% year-to-date in 2023 during the same period.

In the third quarter, the total number of new EV registrations in California was 105,970, a decrease from 103,061 in the second quarter. However, the market share increased as overall car sales decreased more significantly. Compared to the third quarter of 2022, total new car sales decreased by 21.1%, while BEV sales increased by 56.3%, reflecting seasonal factors in car sales.

Nationwide, the market share of BEVs is 7%, while it is 22% in California.

A noteworthy point is that Toyota sold 73,140 units, surpassing Tesla, which sold 60,610 units. Although BEVs are not comparable, this is the case when considering total sales volume.
