EV sales and highlights
It’s worth pointing out that 2017 was a prominent year for EVs in the US since sales have seen a solid growth over a decade.
Drilling down on the infographics, we find Tesla S leading the ranking with 27,060 units for 2017. Even though the numbers are skyrocketing for Tesla, sales declined slightly compared to its performance from previous years.
A well-deserving runner-up, Chevrolet Bolt, has made an successful impact compared to other vehicle brands in the industry.
With 23,297 units sold, the Chevy has seen an escalating growth rate in 2017 compared to other previous annual reports.
Field experts predict that this positive trend will continue during 2018 since sales units increased from month to month.
It also appears that the Toyota Prius Prime has been realizing growth by positioning their brand as one of the most favorite vehicles in the country.
The Japanese car manufacturer has sold 20,936 versions of this model in 2017, placing this model as one of the best vehicles whose sales growth has seen a dramatic growth compared to previous years.
Both, Chevrolet Bolt and Toyota Prime Prius, could categorically confirm that 2017 was a year worth remembering for their books.
It doesn’t matter what type of electric car you are more prone to shell your bucks into, the fact is that EVs are making an impact on the automotive industry and they are here to stay.
