Top-Selling EVs in the U.S. in 2025

For American drivers, electric vehicles are no longer considered a novelty. We’re seeing an extensive and varied range of EVS on the market, from budget-friendly crossovers to electric pickups. These vehicles have become the norm. So, which models were the most popular for American consumers in 2025?

According to sales data in 2025 from Kelley Blue Book and Cox Automotive, there were around 1.3 million new EVs sold in the United States over the year. And while Tesla holds onto its place with top rankings, there are a few surprises from conventional automakers who are stepping into the ring. In this article, we’re highlight the top-selling EVs in the U.S. in 2025.

Top 5 Best-Selling EVs in the U.S. in 2025

1. Tesla Model Y

With 357,528 pieces sold, the Tesla Model Y was the highest-selling EV in the U.S. in 2025, with more than 350,000 vehicles sold. Much of its popularity comes down to the draw of the crossover format, as well as its range, interior space, and easy charging at Tesla’s vast network. For potential EV buyers, the Model Y is one of the most established and recognized options in today’s market.

2. Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 comes in with 189,903 sales last year, making it second in EVs purchased in U.S. The Model 3 sedan is a nice alternative to ever-increasing number of electric SUVs and crossovers. High range, smooth performance, and palatable pricing have allowed it to become one of the most driven EVs on American roads.

3. Chevrolet Equinox EV

At 57,945 sales in 2025, the Chevrolet Equinox EV was the most popular non-Tesla model in last year’s sales rankings. This crossover marries the recognizable SUV format with an all-electric powertrain, which makes it ideal for drivers who want an EV without straying from a mainstream manufacturer.

4. Ford Mustang Mach-E

Ford’s Mustang Mach-E proved strong in 2025 with 51,620 units sold, making it close competition with the Equinox.  Another crossover, this one combines Mustang styling and performance with the advantages of a larger vehicle. And like Chevrolet, this classic car maker has proven their place in the electric-vehicle market.

5. Hyundai Ioniq 5

Coming in fifth, but nowhere near shabby, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 sold 47,039 pieces last year.  Its unique design, roomy inside, and quick charging have given it a strong spot in a competitive EV market. The popularity of the Ioniq 5 also allows Hyundai a steady presence in the crossover world.

Other Notable Best-Selling EVs in the U.S.

Not to be ignored, here are the other noteworthy EVs that rank in the Top 10 in 2025:

• Honda Prologue: 39,194 sales
• Ford F-150 Lightning: 27,307 sales
• Rivian R1S: 24,852 sales
• Chevrolet Blazer EV: 22,637 sales

What These EV Sales Tell Us

Last year’s rankings show the increasing importance of SUVs and crossovers in the U.S. EV market. The popularity of these body styles indicates the tendency of American consumers to lean towards larger, versatile vehicles. And while Tesla held onto its lead with two models coming in at first and second, conventional automakers like Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Honda, Rivian and Volkswagen are making considerable headway in the electric vehicle market.
