The number of light-duty all-electric vehicles (EVs) available to consumers has increased since the introduction of the first mass market EVs over a decade ago. The number of models nearly doubled from model year 2021 to 2022, going from 20 to 38. The number of EV models in 2022 also surpassed the number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models for the first time since 2014.
