A lot of progress has been made in the electric vehicle space over the last 10 years. There were very few models of battery-electric cars to choose from in many places around the world 10
, June saw a new record for EV sales in a single month with BEVs taking a 12% share of the global market.
Things have been a bit slower in the US. However, the US recently reached an important point in EV penetration., “Once 5% of new-car sales go fully electric, everything changes.” This was afteranalysis of the 19 countries that have made the EV pivot.
Despite the US appearing to be moving much slower than other markets, a lot has changed over the past 10 years. I remember the first time I visited the US in June 2013. I spent some time in Seattle and also in the Tri-Cities in Washington State. During my stay, I didn’t see many electric cars. One had to really look for some. A few weeks ago, I got to spend some time in Washington DC, Manhattan, and New Jersey. The opposite side of the country, but still the progress is crystal clear.
I haven’t been to Norway, but I am just imagining what it would be like to have a walkabout along the streets of the major cities in Norway. If electric cars appear to be “everywhere” in Manhattan, New Jersey, and DC, in a nation with lower penetration rates, then walking on the streets in Norway should be a beautiful thing. So much progress has been made over the last 10 years. The next 10 years will be a whole lot better.
