By all measures, electric vehicles’ availability and sales are expanding rapidly in the U.S. In fact, in the first quarter, there were 42 EV models available, up from 34 year over year.

Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has performed well this year, rising by 51% since the start of 2023 (although it’s still down almost 50% from its 2022 starting point).
