Federal tax incentives for electric vehicle purchases were eliminated last year after a temporary credit expired, raising questions about whether the policy shift has slowed adoption. New data suggests that despite the removal of the financial incentive, demand for electric vehicles remains strong, with sales figures continuing to climb.

The findings could offer insight into the sustainability of the EV market beyond government subsidies.
