With more than 50,000 electrified vehicle sales and registrations reported last month, 2018 was a significant break-out year for electrified vehicles.
All major automakers have reported total electrified sales of more than 360,000 vehicles in 2018, or 80% more than the 201,000 sold in the US in 2017.
Number includes fuel cell vehicles offered by Hyundai, Honda and Toyota, which are only available in California.
Sales of Tesla’s three electric models have totaled just over 191,000 units in 2018, compared with just over 50,000 in 2017.
Tesla sold over 140,000 Model 3s in 2018, making the Model 3 the top selling EV in the US by a considerable margin.
