US electric vehicle (EV) sales surged by over 10% in the first three months of 2025, with nearly 300,000 units sold in the first quarter. The market growth was driven largely by new models from General Motors, Porsche, Honda, and other manufacturers.
Tesla, although still dominant, lost market share as several new EV models made their debut. However, it remains the top-selling model, with over 64,000 units sold in Q1. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E remained a close second, selling over 11,600 units.
General Motors (GM) led the pack, surpassing Ford and Hyundai Motor to become the second-largest EV seller, thanks to its impressive lineup of new electric models, including the Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado. GM sold over 27,000 EVs in Q1, with the Equinox being the fastest-growing EV brand.
Honda also had a stellar quarter, selling over 14,000 EVs, led by its luxury Acura brand. The Prologue SUV was one of the top-sellers, followed closely by the Acura ZDX.
As Cox Automotive Analyst Stephanie Valdez Streaty noted, the road ahead will be challenging due to the federal incentives being phased out and new tariffs being introduced. This “will pose a monumental challenge for many automakers,” she warned. Despite this, many manufacturers remain committed to expanding their EV offerings, indicating a promising future for the US market.
