Tesla Model 3 Is The World's Most Popular Electric Car By Far
This may come as no surprise, but it's crazy to see the numbers and the data.
Nationwide Vehicle Contracts (NVC) just reported that the Tesla Model 3 is the UK's most popular electric car. However, it doesn't stop there. The publication put together a full report looking at the last three years of global electric car sales via EV Volumes.com. It then researched Google search volume data for electric vehicles in 152 countries across the globe using the Ahrefs.com Keyword Explorer Tool.
According to NVC, in July 2020, electric vehicle sales were up a whopping 77 percent compared to the same period in 2019. For 2020, electric vehicle sales are expected to hit nearly 3 million. By far and wide, Tesla is the most popular electric car. More specifically, the Model 3 is the dominant leader, but the brand as a whole holds three of the top four positions.
