After a series of other articles about the US electric vehicle (EV) market in the second quarter, here’s our last analysis and statistical breakdown for the quarter. This one concerns what percentage of different brands’ and auto groups’ total auto sales were EV sales last quarter. (Note that we’re only referring to 100% battery-electric vehicles here, not plugin hybrids.)
Starting with brands, naturally, we do have six auto brands that are fully electric brands. I do like leaving these in here because: 1) it shows the final target and how far away from it different brands are, and 2) as more brands are formed or climb into this position, it’s fun seeing those bars grow in number. Looking past them, though, we see Fiat at a very high level (86.3), but Fiat is tiny. Next up is the first really notable result. Cadillac is leading the way with 26.6% of its sales coming from EVs! Not too shabby. How long until it gets to 30%? 50%?
Acura is far below that, but it’s not doing to shabby at 14.7%, and Audi and Porsche are right behind it at 14.4% and 14.3%, respectively. But they are so far behind Cadillac now. Can they catch up?
Wrapping up the brands with more than 10% of their sales coming from EVs, we’ve got BMW at 12.2%. Though, Volvo and Dodge are not far behind 10% at 9.2% and 9.1%, respectively. Dodge?!?! Wow, how did that happen?!
As far as auto groups go, there’s nothing quite as spectacular, but BMW Group is now at 11.3% of its sales coming from EVs, and fellow German Volkswagen Group is in second place at 8.5%. Overall, though, the percentages are quite disappointing, and even third place GM is at only 6.0%. Disappointing? Yes. But this is the United States after all.
How long will it take until we have three of these auto groups above 10% EV share, or at 50% EV share for that matter? Any guesses?
