Monthly U.S. EV Sales

Highlights:

• Much has been about the slowdown in EV sales in recent months and while battery electric vehicle sales have slowed, hybrid electric vehicle sales remain strong indicating consumers are still not charged up about battery power as a sole vehicle source

• Indeed on both a nominal and growth basis, HEV sales are outpacing BEV sales, with HEV sales in the U.S. posting the highest month on record at 138,118 vehicles, 40% higher than BEV sales

• May-to-June typically sees a seasonal pickup in EV sales, but with tougher comparable sales, there is a real risk BEV sales are down in June 2024 versus last year

• Trailing 12-month year-over-year growth of BEVs is at the lowest level since March 2021
