We publish a lot of EV sales reports every month. We publish on China EV sales, Europe EV sales, EV sales of several European and South American countries, and world EV sales. We also publish on US EV sales quarterly. However, full US EV sales data takes a long time to come in, and people want to see sales news and trends ASAP. One reader, “jbc77,” provided the following piece of advice today:

“Thanks. Suggest your author start to develop a table using published data. This would be more useful for now. The overall picture and trends are the most important. I think the picture in states following CA regulations is pretty dismal seeing they have compliance milestones coming soon. What will happen with vehicle sales there? Jim Farley has already said Ford isn’t going to lose money paying non compliance fines. Reduced Tesla sales mean reduced credits available. Rivian and other EV only automakers are too small to make a difference.”

Good idea! How about a working Google Sheet that I update with company numbers as they come in? That’s what I’m going to do for now. Check out the current version here.

Aside from 12 models* that were not around in Q1 2024 (and thus have gone from zero sales to whatever their Q1 2025 total was), the following are the big improvers year over year so far (and their percentage growth in that time):

1. Honda Prologue — 50,221% (this model really shouldn’t be included here, since there was just a trickle of initial sales in Q1 2024)
2. Chevy Blazer EV — 931% (this model’s sales growth should probably be ignored for now, too, as production was still ramping up in Q1 2024)
3. Toyota BZ4X — 196%
4. Subaru Solterra — 173%
5. Chevy Silverado EV — 125%
6. GMC Hummer EV — 109%
7. Nissan LEAF — 103%
8. Lucid Air — 58%
9. BMW i4 — 57%

Overall, so far, the US EV market is up 10% compared to Q1 2024, and it’s up 39% compared to Q1 2023.

We’ll see how top models from Mercedes, Cadillac, BMW, and others are doing in coming days.

*Those 12 models are the:

1. Acura ZDX
2. Audi Q6 e-tron
3. Cadillac Escalade IQ
4. Cadillac OPTIQ
5. Chevy Equinox EV
6. Dodge Charger BEV
7. Fiat 500e
8. GMC Sierra EV
9. Jeep Wagoneer S
10. Volvo EX30
11. Volvo EX90
12. Volkswagen ID. Buzz

There are other new models as well, but their Q1 2025 sales have not been reported yet, so I haven’t included them in the list above. There are also models that have been discontinued — the Fisker Ocean (since the company has gone out of business) and the Chevy Bolt EV/EUV (with just a few sales still trickling in).
