EV Share of USA Auto Market Drops to 7.4%, Fossil Fuel Vehicle Sales Rise - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica reports that the electric vehicle (EV) market share in the United States declined to 7.4% in the second quarter of 2025, down from 8.1% in Q2 2024 and 7.6% in Q1 2025. This marks the lowest EV market share since early 2024. The decline is concerning because EV adoption is critical for reducing CO2 emissions and harmful air pollution. However, the article anticipates a temporary rebound in EV sales in Q3 2025 due to consumers rushing to purchase EVs before the expiration of the US EV tax credit, followed by a likely drop in Q4. In contrast, sales of fossil-fueled vehicles in the US have increased by 3% year-over-year and compared to two years ago, though they remain 14% below the unusually high sales levels seen in Q2 2021, a period marked by a post-COVID-19 rebound.
