Record 1.2 Million EVs Were Sold in the U.S. in 2023

In 2023, Tesla continued its dominance in the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market, capturing 55% of the sector, though slightly down from its 2022 share of 65%. Despite this dip, Tesla’s strategic price adjustments bolstered its standing, particularly evidenced by the increased sales of the Model Y, which accounted for 33% of all EVs sold in the year. The company achieved a record-high share of the total U.S. vehicle market at 4.20% in 2023, outperforming competitors like VW and Subaru. Concurrently, German luxury brands such as BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, though losing share to Tesla over the past five years, are making strides with new EV offerings, with EVs representing a significant portion of their total brand sales.

While Tesla maintained its lead, the broader EV market in the U.S. exhibited notable growth, with a record 1.2 million buyers opting for electric vehicles in 2023. Despite the overall positive trend, the pace of growth showed signs of moderation, particularly in the fourth quarter, where sales increased by 40% year-over-year, a significant drop from the industry’s previous quarterly growth rates.

Transaction price data indicates a narrowing gap between EVs and internal combustion engine vehicles, albeit with EVs still carrying a premium price tag. Looking ahead, shifts in tax incentives may impact buyer decisions, but the market is poised for further expansion, with most automakers expected to increase their share of EV sales in the coming year.
