Electric vehicle (EV) sales are showing signs of struggle both in the United States and abroad. In Virginia, only 56,600+ EVs were purchased as of December 31, 2022, falling short of the California mandate goal for EV adoption. This trend is reflective of a broader American hesitation towards fully electric vehicles, as evidenced by faster growth in hybrid sales compared to electric car sales last year.

The company cited slow EV adoption in some regions as a contributing factor to not meeting its sales target.

A slowdown in electric car sales has automakers walking back ambitious targets for the vehicles. Hybrid sales grew faster than electric car sales last year, a sign that Americans are receptive to electrification, but aren't ready for a fully electric car. https://t.co/VWingzYJRZ
Yeah, electric vehicles are in BIG demand here in Virginia… Only 56,600+ EVs purchased as of 12/31/22. @RTDNEWS reported last month the CA mandate goal won’t be reached. Whoops! Like the rest of America, Virginians aren’t warming up to EVs. https://t.co/XBuYnGgGJ0 https://t.co/jimaWeSgOy
