U.S.: battery-electric car sales distribution by vehicle segment 2018-2023
Until 2020, medium cars were the most popular segment within the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) market in the United States. These were taken over by sport-utility vehicles in 2021. By 2023, some 65 percent of all BEV sales in the U.S. were SUVs, which was some 20 percentage points higher than the share of SUV sales in the global BEV market.
