"Sales of electric vehicles in the United States skyrocketed in the third quarter, as many Americans decided to buy a new battery-powered car before the cancellation of the $7,500 federal tax credit on Sept. 30. As a result, over 400,000 new EVs were sold stateside from July to September, a huge 29.6% increase over the same period last year. The third-quarter blitz also upped the year-to-date figure to over 1 million, leading to an increase of 11.7% over the first three quarters of 2024."

Third-quarter U.S. EV sales jumped as many buyers purchased battery-powered cars before the $7,500 federal tax credit expired on Sept. 30. More than 400,000 new EVs were sold from July through September, a 29.6% year-over-year increase, pushing year-to-date sales above one million, up 11.7% versus last year. Analysts expect demand to soften now that most EVs effectively cost $7,500 more without the credit. Year-to-date best-seller figures show strong gains for most models; only the Tesla Model Y declined. Cox Automotive provided the sales figures used to rank the top 10 models.
