United States Automotive Logistics Market Trends

According to an industry association, approximately 5.7% of US car sales were fully electric in 2022, up from 3.2% in 2021. The battery electric vehicle sales in the region made up just over eight percent of the total plug-in electric vehicle sales worldwide. Tesla continues to dominate the US EV market, with an estimated 302,000 electric vehicles sold in the United States. However, competition is beginning to gain momentum, and manufacturers such as General Motors are continuing to add new EV models into their range of vehicles offered. Chevrolet’s Bolt made it into the list of best-selling electric vehicle models. The model recorded its second-largest sales volume that year, just under its sales—the year the model launched. General Motors intends to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035 and was already one of the global plug-in EV market leaders.

While Tesla dominated the plug-in electric vehicle market in the region, it was also followed closely by the Volkswagen Group, whose worldwide electric vehicle sales soared that same year. Overall, manufacturers were looking to increase their research and development expenditure, with electric mobility at the forefront of their investments. This was in part motivated by the US Government’s commitment to zero-emission for half of all vehicle sales by 2030.
