Going through some of the material on EV sales world wide I found some interesting numbers that show how fast the EVs are becoming mainstream. Here are some interesting numbers:
Total worldwide Sales for 1H2018 are estimated @ 758,375 (China 373,000, US 124,687, Europe 195,000 and Rest 65,900~)
China ... July 2018 Sales are reported at 84,000 against 72,000 for June 2018.
US ... July 2018 sales of 29,514 units is the best month ever on record. June 2018 Sales were 25,619 units. Tesla Model 3 accounted for 14,250 of total Sales in July 2018.
Europe ... numbers for July 2018 are not avaIlable. However; total Sales for 1H2018 are 195,000 up 42% over 2017. Norway leads all countries in EV adoptIon at 45% of all cars and light heavy vehicle Sales. The next surprise is Germany not too far behind at estimated 36,000 units and sales are rapidly growing at 52% growth rate over 2017 numbers.
What's interesting in any of the numbers above we do not see any slow down in sales In last few months. Infact the EV adoption is growing at double digits. At current rates of growth it seems we are all set to close the year with 2,000,000 units in sales.
