The new year is expected to bring steady growth in the electric-vehicle segment, still just a sliver of US sales, amid a federal push to accelerate the transition to zero-emissions vehicles.

Bullish EV forecasts follow a year that brought pivotal developments in the race to electrify America's vehicle fleet.
