Americans bought 230k EVs in 2019 , 245k in 2020 , 462k in 2021 , 760k in 2022 and 1.1 million in 2023 .
Americans bought 346k in 2024 so the trend appears to be slowing.
Despite widespread skepticism, there are some advantages to EVs.
It tends to cost less to recharge an EV than it does to purchase gasoline or diesel fuel.
With typical use the average driver can expect 8 - 12 years from an EV battery, which aligns nicely with the typical battery warranty.
EV battery replacement costs have been coming down but users can expect to spend thousands , or even tens of thousands of dollars for replacement parts and labor.
The production of EV batteries is accompanied by rather significant human and environmental impacts.
