Here are the leading Eight Companies selling the most electric cars in the US.
Tesla
Tesla leads this list accounting for half of the Electric vehicles sold in the U.S . Tesla has headquarters in Palo Alto, California. With its famous autopilot technology, the most popular models are Model S, Model 3, and Cybertruck. Zero tax credit.
Tesla vehicles are expensive, but their battery technology is worth the cost. It has a massive network of supercharger charging stations in the U.S. According to registration and sales records, Tesla is still dominating the Electric vehicle market, with around 75% of Electric vehicles sold between January and March being Tesla models.
Chevrolet
Chevrolet is a subdivision of General motors. Chevrolet has headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. Its most popular EV is the Chevrolet Bolt, a five-door hatchback priced at $31,000. This is one of the most budget-friendly electric vehicles.
Due to GM’s Super Cruise system, bolt drivers get the luxury of “hands-free driving” on some roads. It also gives no tax credit, but other possibilities may be available where you live, such as California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate.
Ford
Ford might be behind by a few years, but it’s catching up to its competitors. Ford’s new models, such as the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck and the Mustang Mach-E crossover SUV, are making a name for their up-to-date technology.
Ford gives you the option of electric trucks or sports cars. Ford drivers access over 12,000 chargers, and their BlueCruise driver assists technology in some vehicles.
Ford’s cars are still eligible for tax credit though it does not apply to all of its models. Still an excellent affordable choice for drivers who want the latest EV technology at an affordable price.
Nissan
Nissan is the first non-US company on this list. It’s a Japanese company famous for its affordable and efficient EVs on the market, like Nissan LEAF. Nissan has its Headquarters in four places Yokohama, Japan, Franklin, and Tennessee.
Nissan ARIYA is their newest release. Nissan ARIYA will be hitting the road soon and equipped with ProPILOT 2.0 driver assistance technology.
The newer models have reduced those concerns about replacement cost, with a longer-lasting battery with an EPA-estimated range of 226 miles on a single charge. Nissan has tax credits for its customers.
Toyota
Toyota might have made a name for its hybrid models like Toyota Prius but let’s not overlook its advanced EVs like the Camry, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4, and Mirai. Toyota has its three Headquarters in Aichi, Japan, Plano, and Texas.
Toyota gives tax credits to its customers. With Toyota’s new driver assist technology, Advanced Drive system, and AWD powertrains available, you’ll find plenty of options, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
The latest and most marketable version of Toyota Prius Prime starts at $28,200, with a tax credit of up to $4,502 available for eligible drivers. It steals a deal offer!
Volkswagen
Volkswagen has three Headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, Herndon, and Virginia. Volkswagen’s first electric car was the e-Golf, which has been replaced by the ID.3 and the ID.4. Even though Volkswagen is new with its model releases, Volkswagen has several more EV concepts on the horizon, including a new version of the classic Volkswagen minibus called the ID. Buzz.
Volkswagen has driver assist technology IQ Drive and is working on additional advanced self-driving capabilities and a startup called Argo AI.
For now, drivers can purchase the Volkswagen ID.4 starting at $39,995. Volkswagen gives tax credits to its customers.
BMW
BMW is another German automaker quickly making a name in the Electric vehicle industry by adding Electric vehicles to their store, with options ranging from the BMW i3 hatchback to the iX sports activity vehicle. BMW has headquarters in Munich, Germany, and Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey.
Even before its Electric vehicle, BMW stood out in the industry because it gave so much attention to making its technology as luxurious as possible, making the cars expensive. It’s worth noting BMW gives its customer’s tax credits. The i3 starts at $44,450 and is eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit, while the i8 coupe and roadster cost $147,500 and up.
BMW’s Driver assists technology, Active Driving Assistance, has the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reporting a reduction in insurance claims.
Kia
The new Korean wave also has Electric vehicles. Kia is a South Korean company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and Irvine, California. Kia has become the world’s fifth largest vehicle manufacturer.
It’s a more reliable and affordable Electric Vehicle brand. At $39,990, the Kia Niro is cheaper for an electric SUV, with a range of 239 miles of driving on a fully charged battery.
Kia is beginning its Electric Vehicle releases, so its lineup is not as extensive, but its focus on compact SUVs makes it a good choice for family-friendly Electric Vehicles.
It has Driver assist technology Drive Wise and tax credits for its customers. In addition to the Niro Electric Vehicle, other options include the Kia EV6 crossover and the Sorento Hybrid. Most of the Kia Electric Vehicles can be connected to in-home stations.
