Plug-in light vehicle (PEV) sales reached around *** million units in the United States in 2025. U.S. sales of all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles had peaked in the previous year, after experiencing steady growth between 2020 and 2023. 

The road to consumer adoption 

While the sale of electric vehicles has picked up steam in the United States, consumer purchase intentions are still below those for traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The time required to charge a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) was U.S. consumers' main concern as of October 2023, followed by BEVs' driving range and their cost or price premium. In an attempt to boost electric vehicle adoption, the U.S. government has allocated financial incentives for the purchase of such vehicles.     

New players and market leaders

Tesla dominated the U.S. electric vehicle market in 2025, selling over half a million BEVs in the country that year. Ford and Chevrolet completed the top three, making the three best-selling BEV brands in the United States all domestic manufacturers. This success has attracted electric vehicle startups such as Lucid Motors, which produced the battery-electric vehicle with the longest driving range as of Model Year 2022, and Rivian. However, Lucid Motors has struggled with profitability, recording consecutive net losses between 2019 and 2024.
