New data from Experian reveals that new vehicle registrations for electric vehicles are up 95% during the first four months of 2021. The entire market isn\u2019t languishing as its up 36% overall. The jump pushed the market share for EVs to 2.3% \u2014 a jump from 1.6% for the same period in 2020, Automotive News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, not every maker is enjoying the stratospheric rise. Tesla Inc., the top seller of electric vehicles around the world, saw registrations decline on three of its four vehicles during the period.

Once the company\u2019s best-selling vehicle, the Model 3 is down 12% and the Model S and Model X are down 63% and 75% respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
