130 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 8 cle Association P opularity and demand for electric vehicles (EVs) are at an all-time high. Worldwide EV sales doubled in 2021 to 6.6 million and first quarter sales in 2022 have already reached more than two million. Over 450 electric car models were available by the end of 2021 and this number will grow by the end of 2022. E-bike sales are growing exponentially nationwide and electric truck and fleet sales are booming too. Our businesses, communities and organization must play a bigger role to accelerate the adoption of EVs – a critical need to meet zero carbon emissions by 2050. At the Electric Vehicle Association, our 100 chapters and thousands of volunteers are educating and advocating for the rapid adoption of EVs. As a 501(c)3, our membership includes volunteers who are EV enthusiasts as well as actual owners. In other words, one does not have to drive electric to join our effort.
