Electric car sales in the USA in 2023 have been published. Tesla still accounts for more than 50% of the market.
The rebound in 2023 sales is complete, and the momentum for electric vehicles across the Atlantic is strong. Customers are increasingly numerous, which means a significant reduction in CO2 emissions in a country (and thus on a planet) where large, heavy SUVs have always been popular.
Throughout the year, electric vehicle sales rose by 52% compared to 2022. The market share for new light vehicles is now 7.7%, that’s an increase of 2 points from 2022.
A Disenchantment with Tesla?
It’s hard to say for now, as Tesla remains at the top of the charts. With 642,496 cars sold in the US, the Californian company still satisfies 56.2% of sales, but competition is gaining strength. In 2021, Tesla claimed 72% of the market, which shows that its dominance is waning.

| 4 | Hyundai | 51,411 | 4.5% |
| 5 | Rivian | 46,319 | 4% |
| 6 | BMW | 42,997 | 3.8% |
| 7 | Mercedes-Benz | 38,320 | 3.3% |
| 8 | Volkswagen | 37,040 | 3.2% |
| 9 | Kia | 30,868 | 2.7% |
| 10 | Audi | 24,700 | 2.2% |
Ford rises to second place, ahead of Chevrolet, Hyundai, and Rivian. This new player is a real thorn in Tesla’s side because its leadership team includes former Tesla employees.
Its electric pickup keeps gaining popularity since the presentation of the highly media-covered, but also criticized, Cybertruck…
Finally, quietly, German automakers are selling quite a few cars…
