Efficient electric machines — from the appliances we use in our homes, to electric vehicles and solar panels — offer a range of benefits to American households. They make us more comfortable in our homes, they save us money, they create jobs, and they make us healthier. We know this is true, but are American households taking advantage of these benefits? Data can help provide an answer. We crunched the numbers for each type of machine — heat pumps for heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters, electric vehicles, rooftop solar, and electric cooking ranges — using market data from places like the Department of Transportation, the Energy Information Administration, and data providers like Grandview Research and Ohm Analytics.  

The result? American households are winning, because they are purchasing more and more of these machines, saving money, and making lives better. Over time, we’ll update our estimates as new data comes in, track actuals against projections, and dig into how the numbers are changing.
