No time right now?

In the United States, there is almost no getting around Tesla when it comes to electric cars. Elon Musk’s group dominates the market on the other side of the Atlantic.

In 2020, it was actually expected that Tesla would lose a bit of its dominance in the American electric car market, as this year, for the first time, there were no more tax credits for Tesla buyers. This move should also make other suppliers more competitive with their electric cars, as potential Tesla customers switch to their models in order to benefit from the tax credits.

In the first half of 2020, data from new registrations in the US showed that Tesla had almost 80 percent of the US market for electric cars. Current data that Automotive News published, show that Tesla was able to maintain this market share in 2020 as a whole: 79 percent of all electric cars still have their origins in Palo Alto.

Tesla continues to dominate the market

In 2020, a total of 200,691 new vehicles from Elon Musk’s automotive group were registered. It is particularly noteworthy that all four currently available Tesla models have made it into the top five. With over 95,000 new registrations, Model 3 is at the top of the ranking, followed by Model Y with a little more than 71,000 registered registrations.

After the front runners, there is a big gap in numbers before Chevrolet breaks through the dynasty with its Bolt EV and almost 20,000 new registrations. The management team is completed by Tesla’s Model X, which only has to admit defeat to the Bolt EV by twelve vehicles, and the Model S, which has around 14,500 new registrations.

The top ten also include the Nissan Leaf, the E-Tron from German carmaker Audi and Porsche’s fully electric sports car Taycan. However, all three vehicles did not manage to reach a five-digit sales figure.
