EV market share stalls just as they help US vehicles become heaviest ever

[Redaktion]

The market share growth of electric vehicles in the US seems to have stalled this year, as their piece of the pie hasn't budged, despite the red hot market for all kinds of cars. EV batteries, however, have greatly contributed to the weight record that the US vehicle fleet notched in the past few years.

Uhm, 2022 H1 saw 338,609 in BEV sales, while 2023 H1 saw 546,651 BEV sales. Not sure how almost doubling of sales is market stalling.

Uh, the EV market is on track to increase 80% YoY for 2023. How is this 'flat'? Do some math and figure out what just a few more years of ~80% growth (which has been consistently happening for years) on top of that 7.1% will do to the market, and you'll see why automakers are finally waking up and shitting their jimmies.
