Porsche is leading the pack, as it has been for a long time, with 13% of its vehicle sales coming from the fully electric Porsche Taycan. Second is Audi, somewhat of a surprise, with 9.9% of its sales coming from electric models. The three core variations of the e-tron — the Audi e-tron, Audi e-tron Sportback, and Audi e-tron GT — combined for 4,777 sales in the 2nd quarter, while the overall auto brand had 48,049 sales in the USA.
The two high-volume automakers that did best got fairly close to 5%. Close cousins and business partners Kia and Hyundai actually tied in this metric, with both of them getting 4% of their sales (on the dot) from fully electric models. Actually, since Kia is still selling the Niro EV and Hyundai is still selling the Kona Electric, both of them are surely above 4% and may be around 5%. Or they could be just trickling out those models as they transition to selling dedicated EV models like the EV6 and IONIQ 5. We simply don’t know.
A sizable drop below those Korean brands we have two more high-volume auto brands, Ford and Volkswagen.
