The USA sees a Nearly Doubled Number of Light-Duty All-Electric Vehicle Models from Model Year 2021 to 2022.

Here's an interesting fact for this week: as of March 20, 2023, there were almost twice as many light-duty all-electric vehicle models available for purchase than there were just a year prior. The numbers jumped significantly from the year 2021 to 2022.

Rewritten: Information regarding fuel economy was obtained from the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on January 24, 2023.
