Part 7/8:
Broader Trends in Electric Vehicle Sales
Despite the challenging landscape for Tesla, it's important to recognize that electric vehicle (EV) sales overall are not stagnant. Recent data reveals a notable increase in both used and new EV sales within the United States. Contrary to narratives suggesting a decline, figures indicate a 64% rise in used EV sales and a 7% increase in new EV sales year to date.
The introduction of competitively-priced electric vehicles, such as the Chevy Equinox EV, has diversified the market. These emerging alternatives underscore that range anxiety is becoming less of a concern for consumers, driven by the expanding variety of available models that fulfill practical and price needs.
