Yesterday, I reported on the USA’s high promoting electrical automobile fashions within the 2nd quarter, and likewise reported that US EV gross sales had been down 6% in Q2 12 months over 12 months — fully due to Tesla’s gross sales drop. However, wanting extra broadly, how are completely different auto manufacturers and auto teams ranked when it comes to the nation’s EV gross sales? Let’s take a look. (Be aware that each one of those charts are higher considered on a laptop computer/desktop pc than on a cellphone.)
So, sure, regardless of Tesla’s large gross sales drop 12 months over 12 months (and much more so going again two years), the US electrical automobile model nonetheless dominates US EV gross sales. The corporate accounted for 48.5% of the nation’s EV gross sales final quarter. With nearly 144,000 gross sales, Tesla had greater than 4 occasions as many gross sales as #2 Chevrolet. That’s the place we’re.
Behind these two main manufacturers, Ford and Hyundai are in a good race for #3, with 5.5% and 5.3% share of the US EV market, respectively. (Ford must step it up if the model desires to remain on the rostrum.) Total, although, frankly, something underneath 50,000 quarterly EV gross sales from Chevrolet, Ford, and Hyundai is unsatisfactory, insufficient. They’ll do higher.
Cadillac, BMW, and Rivian are subsequent in line, however these are premium manufacturers, so it’s a bit of extra acceptable to have simply over 10,000 gross sales 1 / 4, however I hope we see all of them double these numbers earlier than too lengthy.
I do know many individuals choose to take a look at issues by auto group, although, not simply model. So, let’s take a look at these rankings now.
Clearly, Tesla is in the identical place, because it doesn’t have a number of manufacturers. GM then steps up quite a bit to solidify 2nd place. The corporate’s 15.2% of the market was up considerably from its 10.8% of the market in Q1 2025. In the meantime, third place Hyundai–Kia’s share of the US EV market dropped a bit of bit from 7.8% in Q1 to 7.3% in Q2. Quantity was additionally down from nearly 23,000 to nearly 21,500.
Then, mainly, the rating trails off. Ford’s obtained 5.5% share of the market, Honda’s obtained 4.1% of the market, BMW Group and Volkswagen Group have 3.7% of the market every, Rivian has 3.6% of the market, and so forth and so forth.
Total, the massive image is obvious — Tesla dominates the US EV market, however GM is rising quick. Keep tuned.
