The amount of electric cars sold in America is up over 447.95 percent over where it was at this time last year. Those are the latest numbers as reported by EVObsession, which also show that combined sales of all-electric cars and hybrids is up 30.11 percent.
Among other things, this is probably evidence that the problem of “range anxiety” amongst car buyers is overhyped. 97 percent of the time, the typical American consumer doesn’t need anything beyond the range electric cars can already provide.
One of the big drivers here, unsurprisingly, was Tesla, whose sales rocketed up 8,056.25 percent this year, from 160 to 13,050.
