Nearly 300,000 new electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the first quarter of 2025 in the U.S., according to the latest report from Kelley Blue Book, an increase of 10.6% YoY.

• Despite many obstacles — and what you may read elsewhere — electric-vehicle sales continue to grow at a healthy pace in the U.S. market. Roughly 7.5% of total new-vehicle sales in the first quarter were electric vehicles, an increase from 7% a year earlier.
• Cox Auto: “But the EV growth story continues to center on market leader Tesla, which saw sales fall further in Q1, down nearly 9% from year-ago levels. As we have noted before, without a significant shift in product strategy, Tesla will continue to shrink in the U.S. market.”
