I lined among the largest California EV gross sales stats and tales yesterday. Naturally, they revolve round Tesla, as Tesla accounts for greater than 50% of EV gross sales in California, and is the second highest promoting auto model within the state total (solely behind Toyota). Nonetheless, there are a number of different electrical vehicles which have been performing exceptionally properly within the Golden State. Let’s stroll by them and their accomplishments right here. I’ll go so as of the EVs with the best volumes.
It could be solely third on this class’s prime sellers listing, however it is a big class. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is actually the third finest promoting electrical automobile in California, and the very best promoting non-Tesla.
It’s no disgrace that the IONIQ 5 solely bought the bronze within the “compact SUV” class, as the highest two fashions are the 2nd and sixth finest promoting fashions of any variety within the state. Hopefully the IONIQ 5 can discover a method to climb up that rating (I do know, it’s nonetheless a large climb), however for now, let’s have fun the EV beating the Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Rogue, and each different compact SUV on the California market.
Subsequent up we get the Ford Mustang Mach-E taking the silver medal within the “2-row midsize SUV” class, and the brand new Honda Prologue leaping proper into fifth (that Honda model title goes a good distance, even when it’s primarily a Chevrolet beneath). The Mustang Mach-E, because it seems, is the 4th finest promoting electrical automobile within the state, solely trailing the Tesla Mannequin Y, Tesla Mannequin 3, and Hyundai IONIQ 5. Sadly, it didn’t have sufficient energy in 2024 to beat the Subaru Outback, the #1 finest promoting mannequin on this class, however possibly in the future. Within the meantime, it beat each different 2-row midsize SUV. I do suppose the Honda Prologue will stand up the rating, although, and the Honda model might properly increase it above the Mustang Mach-E. We’ll see.
Hey, right here we go — lastly one other class winner! The Rivian R1S, as you may see, really demolishes the competitors within the “massive luxurious SUV” class. It had greater than twice as many gross sales because the #2 Cadillac Escalade. Properly accomplished, Rivian. Think about what sort of volumes the R2 and R3 may see!
Down within the “luxurious midsize SUV” class, no EV is on the rostrum any longer, however the Tesla Mannequin X and BMW iX are available in 4th and fifth. Perhaps one in all them will earn a podium place in 2025.
In a a lot smaller class, the Mercedes EQB did win gold, and the Audi This autumn e-tron bronze, within the “luxurious subcompact SUV” class. Not too shabby.
Final however not least — really, wait, I did order this by gross sales volumes, so that is the least of the classes. Nonetheless, we once more should electrical fashions within the prime 5! The Tesla Mannequin S takes 1st place and the BMW i5 takes fifth place (satirically).
That’s numerous various EV management within the California auto market. I’d guess it is going to get much more various in 2025.
