WASHINGTON, DC – Alliance for Automotive Innovation released its exclusive 50-state analysis of the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market for Q3 2023. The Get Connected Electric Vehicle Report summarizes EV sales and purchasing trends nationwide.
EV sales:
Nationally, EVs represented 10.1 percent of overall light-duty vehicle sales in Q3 2023 – up from 9.1 percent in Q2 2023 and 7.1 percent in Q3 2022.
Texas: The market share of new EV sales in Texas was 6.6 percent in Q3 2023 – up from 5.8 percent in Q2 2023 and 4.9 percent in Q3 2022.
Public EV charging:
Nationally, there are 4 million EVs on the road and 151,303 publicly available charging outlets in the U.S. – a ratio of 26 EVs for every public port. It includes 34,611 DC Fast chargers, which charge battery-powered electric vehicles in 20 minutes to one hour.
Texas: There are 227,310 EVs on the road in Texas and 7,992 publicly available charging outlets – a ratio of 28 EVs for every public port. It includes 2,055 DC Fast chargers. Texas ranks 39th in the ratio of EVs to public chargers.
Public EV charging still lags:
Nationally, nearly 1.1 million more public chargers (950,000 Level 2 and 147,000 DC Fast) are required to meet the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s necessary infrastructure estimate for 2030.
- Put another way, they must install 414 chargers daily for the next 7.2 years – or nearly three chargers every 10 minutes – through the end of 2030.
