BEVs will represent 8% of the US market in 2025
- According to passenger car sales figures recorded in US for the first nine months of 2025, the market share of BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) will reach 8% for the year as a whole, compared to 8% for the whole of 2024. This represents a significant stagnation, likely due, among other factors, to the Trump administration's new policy of relaxing CO2 standards and suspending restrictions on the purchase of internal combustion engine vehicles. This will shift demand from electric vehicles to internal combustion engine vehicles, thus reducing electric vehicle sales. The suspension of tax credits for electric vehicle purchases and subsidies for the construction of charging stations will exacerbate this trend.
- Internal combustion engine vehicles (including MHEVs not detailed in US statistics) will still represent the vast majority of vehicle sales (passenger cars and light utility vehicles) in the US in 2025, accounting for 79% of the market. This is a decrease compared to previous years (80% in 2024, 82% in 2023, and 87% in 2022). However, this trend reflects a slowdown of the decline year after year, and the new measures taken by the Trump administration will accentuate this phenomenon, potentially leading to a reversal of the situation with a renewed increase in the market share of internal combustion engine vehicles in 2026.
- The only growth area observed in the US so far, non-plug-in hybrid vehicles (F-HEVs), have increased from 6% of the US market in 2022 to 8% in 2023, 10% in 2024 and 11% in 2025. Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are not growing.
