Tesla Dropped to 41% of US EV Sales in Q3 — Who Rose? - CleanTechnica

In the third quarter of 2025, Tesla’s share of the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market dropped significantly to 40.8%, down from 48.5% in the previous quarter and 53.9% two years prior. This decline marks a continued trend of Tesla losing market dominance, although it remains the leading EV brand in the U.S. The quarter was notable for a surge in EV sales driven by the final opportunity to claim the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, resulting in the highest EV market share in U.S. history. Several other automakers and groups gained market share during this period. Volkswagen Group saw the most substantial growth, increasing its EV market share from 3.7% to 8.3% quarter-over-quarter, with Volkswagen and Audi both contributing to this rise. Hyundai–Kia also expanded its share from 7.3% to 10.3%, with both Hyundai and Kia brands growing. Honda Motor Co.
