2025: Share of electric vehicles in new car sales reaches 11%

In the third quarter of 2025, 438.5 thousand electric vehicles and pickups were sold in the United States - a record figure that amounted to 11% of all sales of new cars.

However, experts predict a decline. According to Cox Automotive, electric cars will take up to 25% of the market by 2030, although they previously expected 50%.

Tesla holds the lead, but competitors quickly close the gap: its share fell from 80% four years ago to 41%.

General Motors is strengthening its position - thanks to the new Chevrolet Equinox, which took a stake in 15% of electric vehicle sales.

The used electric vehicle market is growing, and at least nine new models are cheaper than $40,000 by 2028.

"The industry will become electric - there is no way back," said Hakan Samuelsson, head of Volvo Cars.
