After reporting on the general US EV market and the way it modified in Q2 2025 in comparison with Q2 2024, Q2 2023, Q2 2022, and Q2 2021, I need to now get into particular EV fashions and the way their gross sales have modified over time.
Initially, let me notice that these charts have gotten so giant as a consequence of the entire EVs that are actually available on the market that sure visible facets of them are getting degraded. They’re finest seen on a pc, not a telephone, however even on a pc they’re now getting unwieldy. So, going ahead, I should trim these down quite a bit. The nice factor is: that is the results of how a lot the US EV market has lastly grown! I’ll embrace embedded variations of those charts on the underside of this text, and people now provide simpler viewing than the static charts (on a pc).
So, first issues first, the Tesla Mannequin Y and Tesla Mannequin 3 nonetheless dominate the US EV market, accounting for about half of the market on their very own regardless of the handfuls of fashions now on the market. The Chevy Equinox EV has additionally now risen to a large quantity, although, and is on observe to promote over 50,000 models a yr. Not wonderful, however not too shabby. In time, I believe Chevy ought to be capable of triple that.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E then scoop up 4th and fifth place as the one different fashions to surpass 10,000 car gross sales within the quarter. Whereas no different fashions actually stand out like these 5, what’s nice to see is there are actually 18 absolutely electrical fashions that promote between 3,000 and eight,000 models 1 / 4, or 24 fashions that promote between 2,000 and eight,000 models 1 / 4. That lengthy stretch of fashions provides as much as numerous EV gross sales. The market is rising!
Evaluating to Q2 2024, the standout participant when it comes to progress was clearly the Chevy Equinox EV. Kudos to GM for doing a beautiful job on that car.
The Honda Prologue additionally had good progress, and, hey, have a look at that — the Tesla Mannequin 3 had year-over-year gross sales progress in Q2! Who would’ve thought? (Nicely, that simply exhibits how a lot Mannequin Y gross sales dropped off … regardless of the latest refresh.) The Acura ZDX additionally shot onto the scene fairly rapidly.
On the draw back, Kia’s EV fashions dropped off massively, the Cybertruck already declined in quarterly gross sales, and all of Tesla’s fashions noticed notable gross sales drops aside from the aforementioned Mannequin 3. And, truly, in all probability probably the most upsetting factor about these charts is what number of EV fashions had gross sales declines in Q2.
Evaluating Q2 2025 to Q2 2023, it’s the same story, however the Chevy Blazer EV, Cadillac LYRIQ, GMC Hummer EV, and Nissan ARIYA stand out probably the most on the plus aspect this time. On the flip aspect, Tesla first 4 fashions (Mannequin S, Mannequin X, Mannequin 3, and Mannequin Y) had vital gross sales declines, as did the discontinued Chevy Bolt and a handful of premium European fashions — Mercedes fashions, Volvo fashions, Audi fashions, and Volkswagen fashions.
Going again three years, it’s the same story for many fashions. Nevertheless, this time, the Mannequin Y had a giant improve in gross sales in comparison with the identical quarter in 2022.
And if we go all the best way again to 2021, we are able to see the arrival and progress from many EV fashions. There are nonetheless a number of which have dropped off in gross sales in these 4 years, however these are largely early EV fashions which have merely gotten surpassed by new ones.
Under are embedded variations of the charts above, which provide higher viewing — on some computer systems a minimum of.
