This chart shows the number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), by model, sold in the United States between 1999 and 2019. Sales surged in 2007, by which point the federal government and many states offered tax incentives or rebates. The Toyota RAV4 is the top-selling HEV in 2019, followed by the Ford Fusion and the Toyota Prius. The sales decline between 2008 and 2011 is consistent with overall declines in vehicle sales during that period. The increase in 2012 can be attributed to economic recovery, increased gasoline prices, and new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The decline from 2014 to 2016 is largely attributable to low gasoline prices, with sales recovering slightly in 2017. For comparison, see Light-Duty Vehicles Purchased in the United States.
