The top selling 100% electric cars in the USA over the first 9 months of 2017
- 100% Electric Cars (BEV) sold 73,333 units - 0.6% of the US market (PC + LCV) - in the USA in the first 9 months of 2017.
- This volume does not reach yet 1% of the market, even if this percentage is reached and even exceeded in the State of California.
- 100% electric cars still suffer from an autonomy deemed too low by a majority of potential customers (although this autonomy progresses as new models are launched).
- In addition, these vehicles struggle for volume in a market where gas prices remain low and demand is concentrated on large pickups and SUVs. Yet the offer of 100% electric vehicles in this category is almost non-existent. As a result, the market share of 100% electric vehicles is lower in the USA (0.6%) than in Europe (0.8%).
- In the first 9 months of 2017, the Tesla Model S is the leader in this market (18,200 sales), ahead of Tesla Model X (15,600), Chevrolet Bolt (14,302), Nissan Leaf (10,740) and BMW i3 (4,635).
- Tesla occupies 46% of the US electrical market in 2017, compared to 54% in 2016. This drop is due to the arrival of the Chevrolet Bolt in this market. Its share went from 0% in 2016 to 20% in 2017.
