In-brief analysis

September 30, 2026

We estimate light-duty electric vehicles in the United States consumed 8% more electricity during the first six months of 2026 than in the last half of 2025 (2H25) in our Monthly Energy Review, down from the 13–24% growth seen in six-month periods in recent years. The slowing electric vehicle electricity consumption growth followed a decline in sales after U.S. federal tax credits expired in September 2025. Overall, U.S. light-duty electric vehicle electricity use has more than doubled since 1H23, totaling nearly 14 billion kilowatthours in 1H26.

Americans drive many different vehicle types. Both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can consume electricity from the grid and are included in our electric vehicle electricity consumption estimates. Internal combustion, hybrid electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles consume other fuels, do not connect
