Audi Claims EV Model Dominance in the US—Beating Even Tesla

[Sapphire™]

Quote>"While Elon Musk may quibble over the claim—Tesla, after all, owns 68% of the American EV market—Audi now counts five distinct body styles in its electric vehicle lineup, to Tesla’s four.

• Audi reaffirms its commitment to going all electric, and so far counts five models in its North American lineup, with more than 8000 sold through the first half of 2022.
• Through 2026, when the automaker say it will introduce only EVs, Audi will invest 19 billion euros in electrification.
• It also says that 2033 will be last year for internal-combustion vehicles.

As of August, Tesla had 68 percent of the U.S. electric car market, but that was down from 79 percent for the full year of 2020 (and 69.95 percent in 2021). As other automakers add models, they’re slowly grabbing larger volumes of sales. From January to June of 2022, Audi sold 8009 electric cars to American customers, giving it the best U.S. half-year EV performance to date.

“Our strategy is to have as many customers in electric vehicles as possible,” Weissland said. “We commit ourselves to EVs to protect our planet and secure the future for our children. Through 2026, Audi will invest 19 billion euros in electrification. From 2026, we will introduce only all-electric models, and 2033 will be our last year for internal-combustion vehicles.”

Etc.

Audi a LEGACY manufacturer has sold 8000 electric vehicles. So, in actual fact Lucid isn't doing too bad!
