Version 0.32 (2024-05-23 23:53:18.575000)

updates: The average U.S. new-vehicle selling price is just over $45,000. Many households cannot afford to buy new vehicles, even though prices have decreased by more than $2,000 from the peak in December 2022. People are also waiting to see if they want to buy electric vehicles or gas-electric hybrids, and are concerned about the charging network for electric vehicles. Additionally, vehicles are made better these days and are lasting longer. New vehicle sales are starting to recover from pandemic-related shortages, and it is expected that sales will reach around 16 million this year. The average age of battery-powered vehicles is also expected to increase in the short term, after remaining steady at around 3.5 years since 2019. High interest rates have dampened consumer sentiment for electric vehicles (EVs) and contributed to a slowdown in demand. However, S&P still anticipates significant growth in the share of electric vehicles in operation over the next decade.
