CoBank regularly shares new industry insights, reports, podcasts and other resources to help electric co-ops evaluate the challenges and opportunities in the evolving EV market.

Notable EV Trend Indicators

While 2023 marked a record year for EV adoption, some cooling is expected in 2024 due to:

  • High interest rates for vehicle financing
  • Consumer concerns around pricing, charging infrastructure and battery range
  • Some domestic automakers signaling a pause on EV investments
  • The 2024 presidential election
