Yesterday, I reported on the USA’s high promoting electrical car fashions within the 2nd quarter, and likewise reported that US EV gross sales have been down 6% in Q2 yr over yr — completely due to Tesla’s gross sales drop. However, trying extra broadly, how are totally different auto manufacturers and auto teams ranked by way of 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 yr over yr (and much more so going again two years), the US electrical car 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 instances 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 beneath 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 just a little 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 favor 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 rather a lot 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 just a little 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 acquired 5.5% share of the market, Honda’s acquired 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 large image is obvious — Tesla dominates the US EV market, however GM is rising quick. Keep tuned.
