The Average Transaction Price (ATP) for new electric vehicles (EVs) surged to $55,544 in December 2024, driven largely by a growing demand for luxury models and high-priced pickups. Reports indicate a year-over-year increase in ATP as sales of high-end vehicles rose, with full-size EV pickups like the Ford F-150 Lightning contributing significantly. Tesla's Cybertruck also helped boost its ATP by over 10% despite falling prices for older models, showcasing the evolving dynamics in the EV market, where luxury is becoming increasingly prominent and demand for higher-priced models persists.
