According to the U.S. Department of Energy, more than 1.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) are on the road, and more than 1.5 million more are expected to be sold this year. The surge in popularity is driven by a variety of factors, including increasing consumer interest in electric SUVs and a growing number of charging stations.
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that over 1.5 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in the first half of this year. In the same period, more than 1.5 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in the first half of this year.
"The EV market is growing rapidly, and we expect that trend to continue," said U.S. Department of Energy spokesperson, Mike Smith.
