US electric vehicle sales continue to grow. 100% electric vehicle (EV) sales were up 200% in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2021. They were up 66% compared to Q1 2022, up 12% compared to Q1 2023, and up 11% compared to Q1 2024.
That said, there are very notable changes in the market. Tesla has gone from dominating it to … well, it’s still far ahead of the competition with about 43% of all US EV sales. However, that’s down from a peak of about 80% and years sitting between 60% and 80%.
Also, while the overall EV market has been growing, Tesla sales were down a lot compared to Q1 2024, down even more compared to Q1 2023, and even down slightly compared to Q1 2022! That means that non-Tesla EV sales are actually growing stronger than the overall trend indicates, since Tesla is bringing that overall trend down.
Looking at specific percentage-change figures, Tesla sales were down 9% compared to Q1 2024, down 21% compared to Q1 2023, and down 1% compared to Q1 2022. They were up 85% compared to Q1 2021.
On the other hand, non-Tesla EV sales were up 32% compared to Q1 2024, up 63% compared to Q1 2023, up 244% compared to Q1 2022, and up 472% compared to Q1 2021.
In coming articles, I’ll provide charts and dive into sales figures and rankings on the EV model leaders and the EV brand and automotive group leaders in the US market. Stay tuned!
