California added 100,671 new electric vehicles in Q2 2025, claiming 21.6% of the state’s light-duty vehicle market. That’s a modest dip from 23% in the prior quarter, yet it marks twelve straight quarters with EV share holding above 20 percent — evidence of a maturing market. Nationally, 310,839 new EVs were sold in Q2 2025, representing a 4.9% increase over Q1, with total new EV sales for the first half of the year reaching a record 607,089, up 1.5% year-over-year. Used EV retail sales in the U.S. also passed a threshold long-anticipated by analysts, surpassing 100,000 units for the first time. Taken together, these numbers suggest a market that has moved beyond the proving ground stage and into a stage where the mainstream consumer is taking the wheel.

California closed 2024 on a high note in Q4 with 108,303 new EV sales — an increase of 6% over Q4 2023 sales. The state also surpassed 2.2 million cumulative new EV sales in Q4 2024, recording 2,213,296 million EVs sold by the end of the year, up from 1,769,922 in 2023. This marks 443,374 new EVs sold in 2024, a slight increase from the 441,283 sold in 2023. California’s increase in Q4 mirrors many automaker announcements of record-breaking EV sales across the nation at the end of the year.
