EV tax credits went out with a bang. EV sales are both made up of new and used EVs as buyers rush to take advantage of good deals before they expire early. Common EV sales forecasts expect low sales in the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by a slight increase in sales in 2026. What that will look like is unclear, but we feel confident that EVS is here to stay. Plug in America has been working for more than 16 years to share the wonders of electric driving, and based on our experience, here are 10 reasons why the road is a success for electricity.
1.Tax credits are not the strongest drivers for EV adoption.
Plug in an an driver survey It has always been found that the powerful economic driver of the EV reaches an inexpensive strike at home. In addition, there are many examples (Germany/ Tesla) of eV for resale after the completion of tax credits.
For example, The German EV market continued to grow after a temporary decline in sales. Another example from the US is the previous version of the Federal EV credit. Until 2022, the federal tax credit was available until the manufacturer purchased 200,000 eligible models, after which it began to expire over time. In the graph below, you will see that Tesla sales increased when people realized that access to the $7,500 tax credit was about to end. Sales fell briefly when the tax credits went away. SALES DROPS only last a quarter before sales increase again, indicating that the policy can increase EV adoption, but the loss of incentives does not mean the end of EVS.
2. Burst forward and forward.
EV charging is on the rise. Apart from disruptions in the national system of electric vehicles (Nevi), there has been Strong expansion of EV charging Infrastructure is built through private investment. There is now Public Finance Ports Over 230,000 EV. Under pressure from the line, the Nvi program was restarted. Fifty states and territories have submitted plans so far, and 41 have been approved under the new guidance. Money is being released now to the state to build EV charging stations every 50 miles of interstates across the country. The remaining funds can be used to expand public charging, making it easier than ever to charge wherever you live, shop, work, and play.
3. The used EV market is booming.
Due to the ability to use the clean car tax credit (45w) on consumer leases, nearly four evs transacted last year were leased. Over the next three years, nearly 1 million are expected to go on lease and enter the used EV market. He used an EVS that cost the same Like used gas cars, but with less maintenance and lower operating costs. EVS are gaining a reputation for durability and reliability, and batteries last longer than originally expected. In addition, EVS offers excellent battery and drivetrain warranties of at least 8 years / 100,000 miles.
The whole world is moving forward with EVS.
EV sales are going global. While the EV market share is growing rapidly in places you might expect, such as Europe and China, emerging markets also include EVs. EVS Account more 40% market share Ethiopia, Tajikistan, Djibouti, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. THis year, moreover One in four cars sold worldwide will be electric.
5. Manickerrers know that EVS is the future.
All major retailers currently operating in the US are multinational companies. As the world is clearly transitioning to EVS, they realize that if they don't step up their electric game, they will soon be out of business. That's why they're joining forces to build a national charging network, offering rebates to EVs to help offset the loss of tax credits, and investing in EV platforms.
6.Vunateation continues to improve. Battery prices continue to drop.
The price of a standard battery pack has fallen by 50% since 2019. It is expected that you will continue to fall. Technological advances are enabling higher energy levels in batteries, and safer, longer-lasting batteries are being installed in an increasing number of vehicles each year. This means that EVS continue to improve and become more affordable.
7.As can make electricity cheaper.
Yup, you heard right. Since EVS is a mobile, flexible load, it can allow utilities to sell more electricity without the need for expensive grid upgrades. The Sign Study found that out EVS contributes more to operating income than costs In all 50 states. With the current reported situation, EVS can help make electricity prices lower for everyone, not just EV drivers.
8.vs are replacing gas cars.
Regardless of what you may hear in the media, one fact is clear. Over the past six years, gasoline vehicle sales have fallen by about six million vehicles, while EV sales have increased by one million. Reach us Drop Point. EVS are here to stay because they are simply better cars. Hands down, those who try EVS are quickly convinced that they are superior vehicles. If you can charge at home, it's very easy. They are inexpensive to own and operate, fun to drive, and produce zero tailings pollution.
9. In that movie we sell evs.
Plug in America tested thousands of EV drivers and found two tolerances. First, many of the concerns that people have about driving an eV are formed when they switch to an EV. Concerns about cost, range, and battery life are replaced with confidence once they've spent time in the driver's seat. The survey also showed that between 2024 and 2025, consumers are becoming more familiar with EVS. The anxiety people sometimes have before driving an eV was much higher in 2025, which shows that People feel more confident about EVS before buying one.
A Consumer Reports Research has found that consumers who have direct experience with EVS, are more likely to be interested in buying or renting. So, if a buyer has a neighbor or cousin who drives an EV, they are more likely to consider one. and About six million evs on esroads todayit's easier than ever to get used to EVS. Be sure to tell your friends and neighbors how much you love your EV.
10. Make drivers love their cars.
A survey of EV drivers, incl Plug in American EV Driver Survey, McKinsey Annual Surveyno Global EV Driver Alliance Shearture SurveyAlways find that at least 9 out of 10 drivers love their cars and expect their next car to be electric.
Due to Federal policy changes that have shifted support away from clean cars, we view this as a speed bump, but not the end of the road. EVS continues to win on their merits. When drivers find high driving performance and their savings through economy and economy, they breathe easy knowing that the road ahead is electric.
