Ford Discusses New Affordable EV PlatformMany here are assuming BEV sales will follow similar patterns or trends as ICE vehicles, and perhaps ultimately they will as electrification technologies improve, but thus far I see little evidence to support such assumptions.
Comparing BEV and ICE sales as of 2023 highlights very different vehicle types. As just one example, full size pickups dominate ICE sales, but in BEV list account for a very small percentage of total. Similarly, BEV list is dominated by cars and pseudo SUV. I consider Tesla Y a bloated tall hatchback more than traditional SUV, but that's just personal opinion, not that it really matters in that there is no ICE equivalent I'm aware of.
My point is that inherent BEV versus ICE functional capabilities and limitations have and will continue to influence which designs actually work best in marketplace. Sedans may have fallen out of grace somewhat as ICE vehicles, but their inherent advantage as a BEV may be harder to ignore.
P.S. — Honda Accord and Civic sold about 200,000 each in 2023, and Toyota Camry and Corolla even more. On average each of these 4 sell as many vehicles as Tesla Model 3. Sales may be down but still a significant volume.Wed, 06 Mar 2024 14:10:50 +0000
