Earlier at the moment, we regarded on the the auto manufacturers and auto teams main the US in electrical automobile gross sales. Now let’s dive into the highest promoting electrical automobile fashions. You’ll not be shocked to see which fashions high the charts, after all.
The Tesla Mannequin Y and Mannequin 3 have so many extra gross sales each quarter than another mannequin that it’s not even humorous. Collectively they nonetheless get into so many extra driveways than another EVs. The attention-grabbing factor just lately was seeing the Tesla Cybertruck climb into third place (and seeing an increasing number of of them on the street). It’s nonetheless nicely beneath the Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y, however may it climb as much as their stage? Or at the very least midway there? We’ll see.
Beneath the Tesla-dominated podium, the Ford Mustang Mach-E continues to be the very best promoting non-Tesla EV. The true shocker is the Honda Prologue taking pictures as much as fifth. We reviewed the Prologue in March, and one purpose it’s stunning to see it in fifth is the truth that it’s mainly a GM electrical automobile underneath the shell. However that exhibits you the way a lot model can matter. Many individuals are loyal to Honda and have been simply ready for a Honda EV to go electrical, and doubtless don’t even understand it’s constructed on GM’s Ultium platform. Maybe there’s additionally an enchantment in design, and worth for cash after all. However I believe it’s simply the truth that you will get them at Honda’s huge vendor community.
Then you definately’ve acquired the competing Hyundai IONIQ 5, my favourite electrical automobile in the intervening time, the Chevy Equinox EV, and the Chevy Blazer EV. (So, GM does rise up there, simply with its gross sales break up extra.) After which a few massive luxurious fashions, the Rivian R1S and Cadillac, wrap up the highest 10.
You may as well take a look at the highest promoting EV fashions throughout the primary three quarters (9 months) of the 12 months. I usually choose this type of long-term view, however with essential fashions just lately being launched and ramping up manufacturing in current months, I choose the quarterly look in the intervening time. Anyway, although, on this case, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai IONIQ 5 are above the Tesla Cybertruck, and the Honda Prologue is means down in sixteenth. Chevy’s comparatively younger EV fashions are additionally additional down the chart. The one key factor I’d say: let’s see if these fashions doing higher within the third quarter can sustain their gross sales.
Now, on to some actually enjoyable charts, although. Let’s take a look at how a lot kind of EV fashions are getting bought in comparison with the third quarter a 12 months in the past.
Humorous sufficient, these 4 fashions I highlighted within the part above lead this chart. As famous, they’re current introductions and already promoting very nicely. Behind them, the Kia EV9 and BMW i4 are doing very nicely! And you then’ve really acquired the Tesla Mannequin 3 bettering 12 months over 12 months, presumably as a result of refresh. General, although, there are lots of fashions doing nicely and getting extra gross sales.
The Chevy Bolt has been discontinued, so it’s no shock to see this mannequin on the backside. Most likely the largest shocker is seeing the Tesla Mannequin Y, the highest promoting EV within the nation, proper above it. Nonetheless, when you’ve been following Tesla gross sales developments, it’s not that stunning — and bear in mind the Cybertruck is on the high of the chart and the Mannequin 3 is up there too, so maybe a giant a part of it’s folks selecting a type of as an alternative of the Mannequin Y in comparison with final 12 months. The Volkswagen ID.4 and Hyundai IONIQ 6 gross sales being down considerably is a priority. These ought to be high promoting, climbing EV fashions.
We’ll shut out by taking a look at issues when it comes to proportion change, however it’s possible you’ll as nicely skip the primary chart and soar to the second.
As you possibly can see, the gross sales soar from a trickle of preliminary gross sales to quantity manufacturing warps the primary chart. So far as the remaining … nicely, it’s really an attention-grabbing, or odd, hodgepodge of fashions on the high. The I-PACE is up so much because of few gross sales a 12 months in the past, Brightdrop electrical supply autos rising strongly is a pleasant factor to see, however the volumes nonetheless aren’t large, and you then’ve acquired the GMC Hummer EV … sure, the Hummer EV.
It’s good to see the Nissan LEAF rebounding a bit, and the Cadillac LYRIQ and Ford F-150 Lightning have been fairly well-liked electrical autos, so it’s uplifting to see them rising sturdy nonetheless (or once more).
