Why EV?
“The future of transportation in the United States is Electric! In Q3 of 2023 alone, Electrified Vehicles (EVs) jumped to a record breaking 17.7% market share of new car sales and by 2030 Electric Vehicles will account for 62% of all new cars sold in the U.S. This can also be translated to the U.S. needing 28 million EV Charging ports to meet demand for zero -emission passenger vehicles.
