The size of the US EV market in 2021 was USD 137.42 billion, and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.4% in the next seven years (2021-2028). Though the Covid-19 pandemic slowed down the growth of this emerging industry, it has maintained its momentum due to several reasons. The favourable government policies to increase awareness and reduce costs by giving incentives to manufacturers are some of them.
Apart from this, the falling prices of lithium-ion batteries and improvements in the EV battery life are also driving the industry’s growth. The EV manufacturers are also actively launching new models and promoting them excessively to increase EV adoption. Due to increased awareness about climate change, and global warming, consumers are considering transitioning to EVs. However, the high prices are discouraging them from buying one. Moreover, the range anxiety and lack of EV infrastructure are forcing them to rethink their decisions.
Despite all these constraints, the EV industry in the US is poised for growth. Electronic vehicles not only drive us towards a technologically advanced future but also ensure it is done sustainably and responsibly by tackling one of the biggest problems – air pollution.
