"While year-over-year growth has slowed, EV sales in the U.S. continue to march higher," said Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Cox Automotive's Director of Industry Insights. "The growth is being fueled in part by incentives and discounts, but as more affordable EVs enter the market and infrastructure improves, we can expect even greater adoption in the coming years."
Total EVs sold in the third quarter reached 346,309, marking a 5-percent jump from Q2. Meanwhile, total EV market share reached 8.9 percent in Q3, which is the highest level recorded yet and marks a jump from 7.8 percent in the same quarter last year.
Cox says it expects increased growth in the coming months, and it says market share of 10 percent is "well within reach," especially with increased charging infrastructure and EV options on the market, as well as great incentives and discounts.
During Q3, EV incentives averaged over 12 percent of the Average Transaction Price (ATP) on sales, above that of the industry average of around 7 percent.
