Tesla alone represents nearly half of the US BEV market
- In a BEV market that represent 7.9% of the US passenger car and pickup market (i.e. 909,526 BEVs) over the first nine months of 2024, Tesla alone represents nearly half (49%), or 446,200 BEVs, and thus asserts itself as the undisputed leader of electric vehicle carmakers on the American market.
- Behind, very detached, the Hyundai-Kia group (90,244 units) supplants the two national carmakers, the GM group (70,468 units) and the Ford group (67,702 units). Followed by the small carmaker Rivian (40,965 units), the Volkswagen group (38,965 units) and the two German Premium carmakers BMW (36,216 units) and Mercedes (23,545 units). Japanese carmakers (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Subaru) are largely left behind due to their lack of interest in this type of engine. Stellantis, which has not yet started selling BEVs in the United States, is logically at the back of the pack.
- What is the share of electrification (BEV) in each of the major automotive groups in 2024 in the USA? Tesla is the carmaker that records the largest share of BEVs in its sales with 100%, like Rivian, Fisker, Lucid, Vinfast and Karma, which however represent much more modest sales volumes. All other carmakers BEVs represent less than 15% of their total sales, BMW being the best placed, with a share of 13%. Geely, thanks to its Volvo and Polestar brands, holds a 10% share of BEVs in its sales. The other carmakers are at less than 10% of BEV in their sales, with very low figures for Japanese carmakers (from 1% to 3%) and even null for Stellantis (0%).
