2 out of 4 cars sold all over the world will be EVS by 2030. American drivers, you have some catching up to do it

It will be more than 40 percent of all cars sold all over the world Electric vehicles By 2030 – nearly twice the market share last year – thanks to the increase in the ability to afford the costs of EVS, According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency. But the growth rate of EV sales in the United States is lower than the global increase, with a 10 percent increase last year. This may be due to the fact that EVS in the United States costs 30 percent more than traditional compounds on average, according to IEA.

The IEA report indicates that although economic uncertainty in the United States and global markets, EV sales will continue to rise as their price becomes more competitive with traditional vehicles.

Two -thirds of all electric cars sold in China last year were priced less than gas -made equations, according to the IEA report.

According to the American research and shopping site CargurusThe average price of the new EV menu in the United States (except for the direct brands of consumers such as Tesla and Rivian) is about $ 63,985, compared to $ 47,627 for an internal combustion vehicle, and $ 48,449 for mixing. This price gap is larger here in the markets like China or the European Union.

Antoine Godwin, EV writer in CNET, believes that the average EVS price in the United States will decrease with the manufacture of more EVS.

“The automobile companies that I spoke to in the economy list are in size as a factor with the largest potential to move the EV pricing needle,” said Godwin. “In China, EV’s dependence has greatly outperformed the United States. They simply sell more, which prompted prices to a decrease. With the rise of EV for dependence, I think we will see low prices here as well.”

Godwin added that EVS is also cheaper to the American market.

“Until recently, there was not much” EVS “for beginners” with nude specifications that reduce prices, “said Godwin. Prices should decrease with the current crop of vehicles and more affordable models – such as Volvo EX30 or moderate Chevrolet – with the start of more reasonable trim levels in larger sizes. “

Kevin Roberts, Director of Economic Intelligence and Market at Cargurus, said that EV for the EV infrastructure has also slowed EV sales in the United States.

Roberts said there are “no fast and reliable charging options.” “This becomes particularly difficult for those in rural areas and suburbs that do not offer easily available charging networks for those in urban areas.

Roberts added: “The United States will need great promotions for each of the broader charging networks and the broader electrical network to support EV accreditation on a large scale,” Roberts added. “While the number of charging stations is increasing, the coverage remains uneven – especially for fast weakers and in rural areas. We may also need to consider alternative solutions such as exchanging batteries or charging the mobile phone in the future. After the chargers, the same network will need to develop to deal with the growing load, which may require great investment and coordination of politics.”

Roberts said the price gap between EVS and ice cars will be narrowed with low battery costs and increased competition. However, this narrowing can be considered with the Trump administration tariff, uncertainty about the future of clean vehicle tax credits, the transformation of the manufacturer’s manufacturer’s priorities, and the chain challenges of the supply chain.

Besides the purchase price, EVS is cheaper to work than conventional gas compounds, according to various reports. Consumer reports mentioned this EV drivers spend less than 60 percent less To operate their cars, and Michigan University report I found that the cost of EV operating on average was $ 485 annually, compared to $ 1117 for gas vehicles. the The US Department of Energy also mentioned “The average EV moves 4.4 times on a certain amount of energy from the medium gasoline vehicle.”

More than 300,000 EVS has been sold in the United States From January to March, CNET mentioned last month, an increase of 10 percent over the previous time period in 2024. Although Tesla sales decreased by 9 percent, General Motors boasted with EV sales for more than 30,000, and ACURA, Audi, Audi, Chevrolet, Honda and Porsche also also helped Increase EV sales in the United States.

One of the most surprising aspects of the IEA report is the largest increase in EV truck sales. Global sales increased by 80 percent in 2024, with double sales of EV trucks in China, driven by a much lower operating costs compared to diesel trucks.
