Which EVs Are Americans Buying? Top 10 Best-Selling Electric Vehicles in the U.S.
A new ranking reveals the top-selling electric vehicles in the U.S. for 2025, offering a glimpse into American buyers’ tastes in the EV market.
U.S. market analysts have summed up electric vehicle sales for 2025, revealing some interesting trends. In the third quarter, American buyers rushed to dealerships, snapping up EVs in anticipation of the federal tax credit being phased out at the end of September. The situation was somewhat reminiscent of the rush in Russia before changes to recycling fees, when buyers imported foreign cars ahead of the new rules.
After the tax credit ended, EV sales in the U.S. dropped sharply. Many models saw sales fall more than 50% year-over-year in the fourth quarter.
By the end of 2025, analysts had compiled the numbers to see how the turbulent fourth quarter affected the EV market, resulting in a ranking of the 10 best-selling new electric vehicles in the U.S. for 2025:
-
Tesla Model Y – 317,800 units (-22% vs. 2024)
-
Tesla Model 3 – 172,800 units (+18%)
-
Chevrolet Equinox EV – 57,945 units (+100%, thanks to a low base effect)
-
Ford Mustang Mach-E – 51,620 units (roughly flat vs. 2024)
-
Hyundai Ioniq 5 – 47,039 units (+6%)
-
Honda Prologue – 39,194 units (+19%)
-
Tesla Cybertruck – 29,000 units (-3%)
-
Ford F-150 Lightning – 27,307 units (-19%)
-
Chevrolet Blazer EV – 22,637 units (-2%)

Volkswagen ID.4 – 22,373 units (+31% vs. 2024)
This list shows a mix of SUVs, pickups, and compact crossovers, reflecting the strong demand for versatile, family-friendly EVs in the U.S. market—while Tesla continues to dominate overall, new entries from Chevrolet, Ford, and Honda are gradually gaining ground.
