Sharp contrast with Europe
The sale of fully electric cars is falling considerably in the United States. The fall in sales of April does not appear to be a one -off relapse, but will be continued in May.
In May 2025, 5.9 percent fewer fully electric cars were sold in the US than in the same month last year, reports Automotive News based on figures from S&P Global. The battery-electric car was therefore good for an American market share of 7.1 percent. The decrease in sales figures is also increasing, because in April ‘only’ 4.4 percent fewer EVs were sold in America. That was then the first monthly (year-on-year) decrease since February 2024, the data is apparent.
When discussing the EV situation in the US, Tesla cannot remain unspoken, because that brand is still supreme on the American market for electric cars. Tesla was good for 42,861 cars sold, much more than the 8,389 EVs who managed to sell number 2 Chevrolet. However, while that number meant a growth of no less than 122 percent for Chevrolet, Tesla had to settle for 12 percent less than last year.
For the falling popularity of Tesla’s in 2025, more reasons can be come up with than a smaller demand for EVs, but the persistent decrease in EV sales in the US is striking. For example, it is a sharp contrast with the situation in Europe (EU+EFTA+VK) where no less than 27.2 percent more EVs were sold in May than last year. In the first five months together, it will even be slightly higher with 27.8 percent, according to figures from the European industry organization ACEA. All this is in turn completely different than last year, when it turned out in October that more in the US, and in Europe Mínder EVs had been sold.
