Electric vehicle sales appear to be moving into a more typical pattern in the United States, even as the wider market accelerates sharply overseas, according to the report. The shift follows the end of the federal tax credit last September, which had helped pull some demand forward into late 2025.
Globally, June marked a new high point with 2 million EV deliveries, driven by especially strong momentum in Europe. The report also points to growing sales in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa, where more affordable Chinese brands are expanding their reach. Europe is described as the main engine of the current upswing.
In the U.S., EV sales remain below last year’s peak, but they have rebounded by more than 20% from the previous month and are continuing to trend upward. The report says the impact of the earlier incentive-driven buying surge is gradually fading, which is helping the market normalize after a volatile stretch.
California is also adding a new $3,500 EV incentive, which the report says is likely to stir debate because of the way it may benefit Rivian and Lucid more than Tesla. Taken together, the latest figures suggest a market that is becoming less dependent on short-term policy boosts in the U.S., while global EV adoption continues to broaden quickly.
