Top 10 Best-Selling Electric Vehicles in the US for 2025
The electric vehicle (EV) market in the United States experienced substantial growth in 2025, despite a decline in sales in the final quarter. This surge in sales reflects an increasing consumer preference for EVs, as well as the introduction of popular new models by various manufacturers.
Overview of EV Sales in 2025
According to recent estimates from Kelley Blue Book, over 1.27 million electric vehicles were sold in the US in 2025. This figure represents approximately 7.8% of total new car sales.
While Tesla continued to dominate the market, total EV sales experienced a 36% drop in the last quarter. The expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit at the end of September led many consumers to purchase vehicles earlier in the year.
Top Manufacturers by Sales
- Tesla: Maintained its position as the market leader with over 589,000 vehicles sold, accounting for 46.2% of all EV sales.
- General Motors (GM): Secured the second position with 169,887 units sold, marking a 48% increase from the previous year.
- Ford: Sold 84,113 electric vehicles, considerably lower than GM’s sales.
GM’s growth can be attributed to new EV models such as the Chevy Equinox and the Cadillac Optiq. Kelley Blue Book noted GM’s establishment as the leading non-Tesla EV manufacturer.
