U.S. Electric Vehicle Market Trends

Expansion of Charging Infrastructure Drives Market Growth

The U.S. EV market is witnessing a major shift with the widespread adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS), as leading automakers such as Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, and Honda integrate it into new models, giving drivers access to Tesla’s 25,000+ Superchargers and reducing fragmentation in charging infrastructure. This standardization, combined with federal efforts to deploy 500,000 public chargers by 2030 under a USD 7.5 billion program, and private network expansions by players such as Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint.

U.S. Electric Vehicle Market Growth Factors

Government Policies & Incentives for EVs to Boost Market Growth

Government Policies & Incentives of EVs fueled the U.S. EV market in 2024, direct shaping the consumer demand and manufacturer strategies. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) continued to provide up to USD 7,500 in federal tax credits for qualifying EVs, though with stricter requirements around final assembly in North America and domestic battery sourcing, pushing OEMs to localize supply chains. This development drives the market growth.

U.S. Electric Vehicle Market Restraints

High Premium Costs Limit Market Growth

The high upfront vehicle costs are one of the restraining factors for the market. In 2024, the average EV transaction price in the U.S. was about USD 55,000, compared to roughly USD 48,000 for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This price premium makes EVs less accessible to consumers. Thus, the high premium cost of EVs may hamper the U.S. electric vehicle market growth.

U.S. Electric Vehicle Market Segmentation Analysis

By Vehicle Type

Based on vehicle type, the market is divided into passenger car and commercial vehicle.

The passenger car segment held the maximum U.S. electric vehicle market share in 2024. The segmental growth is attributed to affordable costs (<USD35,000) and advanced features (ADAS, connected services). In 2024, the passenger car sales increased by 15% i.e, 1,520,000 in 2024 compared with 2023.

The commercial vehicle segment is projected to grow at a higher rate over the forecast period.

By Propulsion Type

Based on propulsion type, the market is bifurcated into battery electric vehicle (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment held the maximum market share in 2024. Major OEMs' increasing launches of BEVs fueled market growth, and the segment is projected to grow at a higher rate over the forecast period.

• For instance, in September 2023, Kia America introduced the 2024 EV9, a three-row E-SUV priced at USD 54,900. This EV has an 800V architecture, enabling rapid DC fast charging to reach a 10% to 80% state-of-charge in under 25 minutes. The standard configuration accommodates up to seven passengers, and the car is priced at USD 54,900.

By Drive Type

Based on drive type, the market is segmented into all wheel drive, front wheel drive, and rear wheel drive.

The rear wheel drive segment held the maximum market share in 2024. OEM focuses on price-leader RWD variants due to increase efficiency from the new e-axle and software-enhanced traction control.

By Range

Based on range, the market is segmented into 150 miles, 151-300 miles, and above 300 miles.

The 151-300 miles segment held the maximum market share in 2024. The segmental growth is attributed to its offering the most practical balance between vehicle cost, battery size, and consumer requirements. Vehicles in this band typically use 50–75 kWh battery packs, which provide sufficient daily usability for commuting, errands, and regional travel while keeping MSRPs in a more affordable bracket.

By Component

Based on component, the market is segmented into battery pack & high voltage component, motor, brake, wheel & suspension, body & chassis, and low voltage electric component.

The battery pack & high voltage component segment held the maximum market share in 2024. Increasing new cell plants, vertical integration (cell→module→pack), structural/CTB designs that cut parts and weight, recycling/second-life ecosystems that lower effective material cost, and chemistry innovation that improves USD/kWh and lifespan have boosted the segment growth.
