The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation today reported record-breaking numbers in its monthly update for US EV sales and public charger availability in November 2024. Let’s break it down.
EV sales keep on climbing
November 2024 was a big month for EVs. A total of 141,442 plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) were sold, which includes 117,929 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 23,513 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). That’s an 11.5% increase from November 2023.
As of the end of November, over 1.4 million PEVs had been sold – an impressive 9% jump compared to the same period in 2023. PEVs now account for 10.4% of all light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales, up from 9.4% in 2023 and 6.8% in 2022.
New players like the Honda Prologue and Chevrolet Equinox EV are reshaping the market. Their sales rose 65% and 69%, respectively, from October to November. Ford also had a standout month, with Mustang Mach-E sales soaring 79% and the F-150 Lightning cracking the top 10 with a 96% jump.
More EV chargers, more confidence
Charging availability is keeping pace with EV sales. In November, 2,490 public EV charging ports were added nationwide – a 1.2% increase in the US network.
Among those, 14 new NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) stations went online, adding 56 fast-charging ports in Ohio, Hawaii, New York, and Texas. As of now, the US boasts:
- 205,000 charging ports across 74,500 locations
- 289 federally funded ports, including NEVI, CFI, and RAA program chargers
And that’s the tip of the iceberg – projects are underway to deploy over 24,000 federally funded chargers.
