Harvard Study Predicts 32 Percent Of US New Car Sales In US In 2030 Will Be EVs
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
A Harvard study forecasts that electric vehicle (EV) sales in the United States will rise from 8 % today to 32 % by 2030, despite federal policy setbacks. The report, titled “Simulating Impacts of Proposed Trump Policy Changes on Electric Vehicle Adoption,” attributes the projected drop from a potential 48 % to 32 % mainly to the removal of the $7,500 EV tax credit. Researchers also highlight battery technology improvements, expanded fast‑charging networks, and consumer confidence in charging infrastructure as key drivers of future EV uptake.
