A few days ago, Netcom learned from foreign media that according to data, the sales of electric vehicles in the United States reached 196,788 in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 66.4%. In the first half of 2022, the cumulative sales of electric vehicles was 370,726 units, a year-on-year increase of 75.7%, and the electric vehicle market achieved a bucking trend.
Currently, the U.S. new car sales market is not doing well, with sales falling 20% compared to the same period in 2021, and even hybrid and plug-in hybrid models have seen a 10.2% decline. In this market context, electric vehicle sales hit a new record high, even closer to the sales of hybrid models (245,204 units) in the same period.
The surge in electric vehicle sales in the U.S. has been driven in part by new models launched, with 33 electric vehicles of various types already launched, and these new models brought in nearly 30,000 sales in the second quarter. The reason why electric vehicles sell well is not a strategy of lowering prices. The average price of electric vehicles in the United States in June was US$66,000, which is much higher than the average level of the overall market and basically close to the price of luxury cars.
In terms of individual vehicle performance, the most popular electric car in the second quarter was the Tesla Model Y with 59,822 new car sales, followed by the Tesla Model 3 with 54,620 sales, and the third is the Ford Mustang Mach-E , a total of 10,941 units were delivered, followed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 with 7,448 and 7,287 units sold respectively.
