Per figures reported by Cox Automotive, EV sales totaled 487,560 units in 2021,
an 89-percent increase over the 257,872 units sold in 2020. The figures also reveal a 71.8-percent increase in EV sales in Q4 of 2021, up to 147,799 units as compared to the 86,010 units sold in Q4 of 2020.

According to Cox Automotive, EV sales may have risen even higher had production and inventory not been impacted by the ongoing global microchip shortage.

Adding up the annual sales beginning from 2010 gets us to approximately 26.2 million cumulative electric vehicles sold, but factoring in an increasing rate of EVs going out of operation each year, we arrive at ~25.19 million EVs in operation. This is an increase of 14X from the roughly 1.8 million at the end of 2020.

Get with the times people it's happening in your lifetime.
