America's new EV registrations were up 4.6% in June (compared to June of 2024), "But EV market share fell for the month and stayed flat for the first half of the year, according to the most recent S&P Global Mobility data."
> June's 113,460 EV registrations represented 8.6% of U.S. light-vehicle market share, down from 8.8% a year earlier... The data, which serves as a sales proxy since some EV makers don't report U.S. numbers, shows continued flattening of EV market share ahead of the [3]Sept. 30 repeal of the $7,500 federal tax credit.
>
> The S&P Global Mobility numbers include only battery-electric vehicles and not hybrids.
In June Tesla led with 57,260 registrations — more than 6x its next competitor. (Although Tesla's share of the EV segment dropped 6.8% to 43.7 percent in the first half of 2025).
Ranking #2 in June registrations was Chevrolet with 9,517 — a 152% gain over Chevrolet's June 2024 registrations. (Pointing out that the Chevy Equinox EV starts at under $35,000, [4]Electrek writes that "America's most affordable EV with over 315 miles of range, as GM calls it, is quickly winning over buyers.") Automotive News reports Equinox EV registrations surged 722% to 6,239 in June, with Chevy's share of the EV segment more than doubling to 7.7%.
Chevy pulled ahead of Ford (5,759 registrations), Hyundai (5,227 registrations), Rivian (4,613 registrations) and Cadillac (4,121 registrations). Although maybe it's just as interesting that the complete chart shows electric vehicle registrations for 33 different automakers...

It'll be interesting to see what the numbers look like after the tax credits go away at the end of September. [1]We're already lagging far behind the rest of the world [insideevs.com], and I'd say it's a safe bet that once the tax incentives go away, EV adoption in the USA could grind to a halt.

Obviously stated by someone who has never driven a modern EV. Because they have the torque of a turbo diesel, the speed of an LS8 and at more than 2x the energy conversion efficiency. They get ~300 miles on effectively the energy of 3 gallons of gasoline.
But, if you REALLY like driving snow plow looking vehicles becasue they look manly have at it. But don't judge until you've pinned yourself into the seat a few times in one of the many EVs on the market today.

There is a rush to collect the $7500 tax credit before it expires. It is given at point of sale with no recapture, and almost anyone is eligible except for very high income.
There is also a $4000 used EV tax credit, expiring on the same date.
I bought a new Equinox EV on Thursday for $27,644 out the door, with the tax credit applied at point of sale.
I'm about to list my 2015 Volt, and try to sell it before 9/30 . Buyer can get rhe $4000 tax credit, as well as $250

odd because Tesla shows to have sold ~720,000 (Score:2)
Google says Tesla sold Q1 2025, 336,681 vehicle deliveries and Q2 2025, 384,122 vehicles delivered.
I guess some of those could have been sold in 2024 but a full 100,000 unit difference and that's just Telsa so the 50,000 or so GM and Ford sold aren't even counted. Note, just guessing on the Ford and GM number since they are usually just a fraction of Tesla sales.

My bad, those were Telsa global delivery numbers, not US. For the US sales numbres:
Q1 Sales: 128,100 vehicles were sold and Q2 Sales: 143,535 vehicles were sold for a total of 271,635 which would mean a significant number of EVs were purchased from other vendors this year in the US. THAT's a big deal if you're a Tesla stock holder or employee.

Sadly you might have some truth in your post. Tesla and Musk are heavily associated with electric vehicles in a lot of people's minds and Musk's very public political beliefs and actions in those areas have likely damaged the image of electric vehicles on an unconscious level for some folks.

It's more likely a confluence of factors in play - left-wing folks avoiding Tesla because of Musk's political antics, and right-wing folks being more inclined to avoid EVs in general for partisan loyalty reasons. I doubt there's many people who think they'll be perceived as aligning with Musk's political views because, for example, they're driving around in an Equinox EV (which let's be honest, looks like any other ICE vehicle Chevy sells).

People wanted Tesla's it was the iPhone of EVs. People would buy other brands because they couldn't afford a Tesla.
But Tesla was the disruptive product. Now, with the brand damage, people have no exciting brand to turn to. So yes, I think it does hurt all EVs in general.

Except that there are now [1]many models of electric vehicles [caranddriver.com] from companies other than Tesla. Five years ago, there weren't many; now you have a wide variety of choices.
