September 2025 was a record month for the U.S. EV market. According to Autodel Service, EV sales hit an all-time high, driven by federal tax credits that encouraged consumers to choose eco-friendly cars.
Tesla remained the market leader, but its share fell to 38%, the lowest since 2017, due to rising competition and delays in new model launches.
Meanwhile, General Motors strengthened its position: EV sales rose by 12.9%, and Chevrolet became the second-largest EV brand, surpassing Ford and Hyundai. The Chevrolet Equinox EV was particularly successful, praised for its balance of price and quality.
Affordable EVs also gained traction: the Nissan Leaf became the cheapest new EV in the U.S., attracting budget-conscious buyers.
Experts note that the record surge was largely due to consumers rushing to take advantage of tax credits before they expired on September 30. However, demand is expected to slow in Q4 as incentives are no longer available.
