We’ve appeared on the top selling electric vehicles and top selling EV brands in the US. We’ve checked out overall auto industry sales trends in the US. We’ve checked out how much more electric vehicles have grown compared to fossil fuel vehicles (which have shrunk). Now, let’s full this collection on third quarter US auto gross sales tendencies by taking a look at which auto manufacturers and automotice teams are electrifying their fleet the quickest.
Beginning with auto manufacturers, there are the pure EV manufacturers on the prime, after all. I might simply not embody them, however I like exhibiting off the rising variety of pure EV manufacturers. Beneath these manufacturers, a whopping 74.4% of Fiat’s gross sales had been electrical final quarter! In fact, Fiat barely has any gross sales within the US. It bought 316 vehicles in Q3, 235 of which had been electrical.
Attending to the extra severe comparisons, we’ve bought Cadillac on prime once more, with 19.4% of its third quarter gross sales being electrical! If this EV share continues to develop strongly, it’s going to be fascinating to see how GM’s messaging and lobbying round car electrification and gasoline economic system requirements modifications over time.
Certainly, luxurious manufacturers are electrifying a lot quicker. After Fiat and Cadillac, subsequent within the rating are BMW (15.8%), MINI (13.6%), Audi (11.6%), Mercedes (9.7%), Acura (8%), and Genesis (6.9%). Amongst extra “mass market” worth manufacturers, you’ve then bought Hyundai and Kia (each at 6.9% as nicely). However, actually, we’re not in very thrilling territory anymore down right here.
auto teams as a complete, BMW Group rises to the highest of legacy automakers, with 15.6% of its gross sales being electrical final quarter. In second is Geely, which is the mother or father firm of Volvo Automobiles and Polestar, with 12.7% share of its gross sales being electrical. Contemplating how shortly Geely is electrifying elsewhere, it’s really stunning it doesn’t have a better EV share right here within the US, however no less than it bought the silver medal. Mercedes-Benz Group (9.7%) is available in third earlier than a major drop-off to #4 Volkswagen Group (7.1%) and #5 Hyundai–Kia (6.9%). There’s then one other vital drop-off.
What’s most shameful is both “green” Toyota Motor Co. having just one.3% of its gross sales being electrical or Stellantis being at a shameful 0.1%! Properly, there’s additionally Mazda Motor Co. there at 0%…. All of those auto corporations deserve a number of coal for Christmas — however then once more, I assume they could nicely be pleased with that!
