These are the top 10 best-selling EVs in the US through Q3

The US electric vehicle market delivered its strongest performance in a year in the third quarter. Here are the top 10 most popular so far this year.

The “reset phase” following the expiration of the federal $7,500 tax credit last September is largely behind us, according to Stephanie Valdez Streaty, director of insights at Cox Automotive.

A total of 266,630 electric vehicles were sold in the US in Q3, Kelley Blue Book estimates, up 7.7% from the second quarter, and the highest since EV sales peaked in Q3 2025.

While EV sales were down 38.6% from a year ago, it was due to the tax credit expiring at the end of Q3 2025, which led to a rush of buyers before the quarter ended.

Beyond that, the third-quarter results suggest the market is finding its footing again and continuing to recover from the expected correction. Electric vehicles accounted for 6.5% of all new car sales in the third quarter, up from 5.8% in Q2, but still far from the over 10% achieved in Q3 2025.

Although most automakers posted lower EV volume than the year prior when the credit expired, several brands bucked the trend.

Toyota and Lexus continued leading the growth, with EV sales surging 328% and 442% from the prior year.

Rivian delivered a strong third quarter, with sales jumping 46%, while Subaru posted 31% growth driven by its trio of new electric SUVs.

Through Q3, Tesla remains the dominant leader, with the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 holding the No.
