Electric vehicles, once considered an exorbitant and precarious technological endeavor, have steadily gained mainstream acceptance. Their increased reliability and affordability have rendered the global landscape primed for an electrical revolution. A testament to this readiness is Tesla's remarkable feat in 2023, where their EV sales outnumbered those of the next 18 combined automobile groups.

Tesla has retained its supremacy in the US electric vehicle domain. The first quarter of 2023 saw the firm outperform an amalgamation of 18 automotive behemoths, including the likes of Hyundai, Audi, BMW, Volvo, and Nissan. Tesla's impressive sales growth soared by 79% year-over-year, amounting to 184,800 units. This surge outpaced the overall 74% growth of the EV market. Tesla's Model Y reigned as the best-selling EV in the US in the first quarter, closely followed by the Model 3. Together, these two models contributed to over half of Tesla's quarterly sales.

The exponential rise of the US EV market can be attributed to multiple converging factors. Government incentives, burgeoning consumer demand, and the proliferation of EV models are driving this growth. The federal government extends a tax credit of up to $7,500 on the purchase of an EV, complemented by additional incentives offered by several states.

Not only do EVs appeal to consumers for their cost-effectiveness and advanced technology, but they are also a boon for the environment. Emitting zero pollution, these vehicles play a crucial role in diminishing air pollution and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. While Tesla rules the roost in the US market, the title for the world's largest EV manufacturer is held by BYD, a company based in China.
