What’s Fueling the EV Revolution?

by | Jun 14, 2022 | 0 comments |

The EV revolution is happening, we like to call it the EVolution. Electric vehicles are here to stay. A recent survey by The Harris Poll compiled for Volvo Car USA indicates that 74% of drivers believe electric vehicles are the future. The survey also notes that 55% of consumers will never switch back to a gas-powered vehicle and 85% of drivers are happy with their EVs.

In North America, EV sales doubled between 2021 and 2020, going from 375,000 units to 735,000 vehicles for a 4.4% market share.

What is Fueling the Electric Vehicle Revolution?

The EV revolution is being fueled by several factors. The global pandemic and subsequent lockdowns hurt the auto industry. Car sales in the U.S. saw an 89% decrease in May 2020. It’s a catastrophic decline for any industry.

While sales of gas-powered vehicles all but stalled, EVs rose around 21.5% during the pandemic.

Most car manufacturers in the U.S. reported losses, but not all. 27 out of 30 car manufacturers lost money, but Tesla continued to sell EVs during the lockdown. The innovative electric vehicle company relies on contactless direct sales instead of dealerships.

Federal, state, and local governments are investing in EV infrastructure. Florida is increasing its support for EVSE infrastructure with a new bill recently signed into law. The Biden Administration is increasing the number of programs to ramp up EVSE construction.

The Infrastructure and Jobs Act is working towards meeting the White House’s goal of having 500,000 EVs on the road by 2050. There is also the Build Back Better plan that is offering increased tax credits ranging from $7,000 to $12,500 for American-made EVs.
