The Great Debate: eGallon vs Gasoline
Sacramento, Calif. — The nonprofit Veloz, together with its electric vehicle (EV) education platform ElectricForAll.org, is helping drivers make sense of the “eGallon,” which is the electric equivalent cost to drive the same distance as one gallon of gasoline. The comparison is one of the great debates in the transportation sector, and the conclusion is consistent: EVs deliver strong economic benefits. In nearly every scenario, EVs cost less to fuel and less to operate on a per-mile basis than comparable gasoline vehicles.

Coming in as the highest quarterly market share to date, the market share is a notable climb from 21.7% in the prior quarter and represents an 8.3% year-over-year increase from 115,240 new ZEVs in Q3 2024.

EV Market Matures in Q2 2025 with Diversified Models, More Trade-Ins, and Steady Sales
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.
Consumers Don’t Hear Enough About the Benefits of EVs. Now They Will.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are changing the way people drive—and save—right now. Millions of drivers are already spending less on gas and maintenance and taking advantage of available incentives by buying new and used EVs. Others haven’t made the switch because they don’t realize how much they could save. At the same time, federal incentives end September 30th and state EV tax credits and policies are under threat creating more consumer questions. With lower costs to maintain and a smooth, quiet ride, EVs are a smart financial choice now and into the future.
California’s EV Market Holds Steady Despite Decline in Tesla Sales in Q1 2025
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.
