Summary

EIA estimates light-duty electric vehicles used 8% more electricity in January–June 2026 than in July–December 2025. The calculation includes battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles; previous half-year growth ranged from 13% to 24%.

## Why it may matter to operators

Consumption continues to grow, more slowly. These are modeled U.S. electricity-use estimates, not sales or a share of Panama’s vehicle fleet. They do not establish local gasoline or diesel demand.
