Notes:
Light-duty vehicles are vehicles weighing less than 8,500 lbs including passenger cars and light trucks.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a vehicle that can both (1) plug into an electric power source and store power in a battery pack and (2) use petroleum-based or other liquid- or gas-based fuel to power an Internal combustion engine (ICE).
Battery electric vehicle (BEV) is an all-electric vehicle that receives power by plugging into an electric power source and storing the power in a battery pack. BEVs do not use any petroleum-based or other liquid- or gas-based fuel during operation.
Note: Values for 2022 and prior are final. Values for 2023 and 2024 are preliminary. Electric Vehicle electricity end-use consumption is included across multiple end-use sectors in electricity sales to ultimate customers. PHEV consumption only includes electricity consumption,.
it does not include any gasoline consumption.
Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Estimates are model based. These estimates are not discretely allocated to any of the end-use sector balances. See full data disclaimer and technical notes.
Data source: The estimates published in these tables are based on a model that uses administrative and third-party data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,.
