Data from Cox Automotive, reported by Auto News, says that there are an estimated 1,953,512 vehicles sitting unsold on right now. That works out to a 53-day supply – which is up 75 percent from the same time just one year ago. It’s also up very slightly from a month earlier when supply stood at 1,928,619 vehicles. Cox reportedly generates this data by looking at the sales rate from the previous 30-day period.

The big reason for this 53-day average supply comes down to one thing: EVs. According to the outlet, those vehicles have a 103-day supply. That makes it the only segment other than to have supplies on the other side of 100 days. However, Cox does point out that were close at 99 days, but that’s not really that surprising.
