Seventy-five Percent of Plug-in Vehicles Sold in the United States in 2018 Were Made in the United States
For every year except 2011, the United States has produced the majority of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) sold in the United States. In 2018, the United States produced 75%, Japan 9%, and Germany 5%, while the remaining eight countries listed produced a combined 11%. In 2011, 55% of the PEVs sold in the United States were produced in Japan, 43% in the United States, and 2% in France.
Note: PEV sales began in December 2010, thus 2011 was the first full year of sales. PEV include both all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Includes sales of light-duty vehicles only.
