US: All-Electric Car Sales Surged In January 2023 - 7% Market Share

Electrification of cars in the United States significanly accelerated in early 2023, according to the latest reports for the month of January.

insideevs.com

Based on reported EV registrations for the month of January, it looks like GM is pushing to beat their projected sales of 70,000 Bolt EV and EUV for 2023.

January saw a combined sales of around 7,500 EV and EUV sales. Furthermore, the Bolt EUV is outselling the Bolt EV two-to-one.

Should this trend continue, GM could easily see 90k sales by the end of this year or more (!) if they continue to ramp production.

Some of that may be spillover from 2022 from people holding off on completing the sale to get the $7500 tax credit. Also, there are some fleet sales that should slow down later in the year.

Bet they could sell more if they had more batteries.

Barring unforeseen oopses, in 2023 the Bolt should become #1 non-Tesla EV as far as the sales figures.

I hope they sell a bajillion Bolt EUVs because that means parts will be easy to find.

Yes, but it won't be close. Tesla sells ~100K cars per month. I wish GM would ramp up production of the Bolt.

Uh, not quite. See the Tesla sales chart below.

GM would sell a lot more Bolts, but they can't produce them fast enough. Look how much everybody is complaining about the wait time to get their Bolts. The demand is there. GM just doesn't have the production capacity for EVs at a level yet where they can meet the demand. That's going to change with Ultium, which is why there is so much investment in it.

 

[Basil Davis]

They would sell twice that if they could muster the production. The price point GM is using (LOSS) makes it so, at least if the dealers don't Greedo it.
