The 2025 ranking of America’s best-selling electric cars shows Tesla still in front, yet its dominance no longer looks set in stone. According to Cox Automotive data obtained by SPEEDME.RU, more than one million EVs were sold in the U.S. over the first nine months—a year-over-year increase of 11.7%.
Tesla’s Model Y holds a comfortable lead with 265,068 units, despite a 7.7% decline versus last year. The Model 3 follows with 155,180 sales, up 17.6%. Completing the top three is a newcomer turned sensation: the Chevrolet Equinox EV, which surged 390% to reach 52,834 units.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E takes fourth with 41,962 sales, while the Hyundai Ioniq 5 rounds out the top five at 41,091. It’s telling that the Kia EV6—built on the same platform—trailed by more than threefold. That spread hints that execution and positioning can sway buyers even when the engineering common ground is strong.
