This weekend, someone just might buy the 100,000th electric car in the US
It sounds like there are now 100,000 EV's on the road in the USA and that is ONLY counting the EV's that were sold in the last 3-5 years, the "new" ev's.
But what I thought was interesting is that
the EV albums web site has 1,696 pages with 32 listed per page of just electric passenger cars, this is not supposed to include trucks, buses, bicycles, SUV's, tractors or any other non car, over 54,000 cars, a great deal of them home built and of course a handful of them are part of that 100,000 but it's a very small number, I'd guess that nearly half of them are in the USA and that maybe another half are unfinished projects, but that is still 10,000 or more "old" EV's in the USA, now compare that to the 1,100 EV-1's that GM built and recalled and thus "killed" the electric car... that's a drop in the bucket, if all of them were still on the road they would still be a rare car.
100,000 new EV's plus ~10,000 old EV's is pretty exciting!
