According to Kelly Blue Book, an automotive research firm, about 1.2 million vehicles representing 7.6% of total new vehicle sales are all-electric. The number of electric vehicles has increased drastically like never before. They have almost doubled. By the end of 2023, a total of 2.5 million electric vehicles will be on the road in the United States.
