Global EV sales reached a record 2 million deliveries in June, with Europe leading the latest surge in demand while several emerging markets continued to expand. The milestone comes as EV sales in the United States begin to stabilize following the loss of the Federal Tax Credit last September, although the market remains below last year’s peak.
The latest figures show strong momentum across Europe, while more affordable Chinese electric vehicle brands continue expanding into Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa. In the U.S., monthly sales are recovering as the effects of expiring incentives from late 2025 begin to fade.
Global EV Sales Hit a New Record
Global EV sales climbed to a record 2 million deliveries in June, driven primarily by a strong European market. Europe led the latest wave of growth, making it the top-performing region during the month.
Beyond Europe, more affordable Chinese EV brands continued expanding their presence across Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa, contributing to broader global growth.
U.S. EV Sales Show Signs of Stabilizing
In the United States, EV sales appear to be normalizing after the Federal Tax Credit ended last September. While sales remain below last year’s peak levels, they increased by more than 20% compared with the previous month.
The upward trend comes as the “pull-ahead” effect created by expiring incentives during the fourth quarter of 2025 begins to lose its impact on the market.
California Introduces a New EV Incentive
California has introduced a new $3,500 EV incentive. The announcement was described as one that is “absolutely, positively certain to infuriate the Elon stans.”
June’s record global EV sales highlight continued growth across multiple regions, led by Europe and supported by expanding markets outside North America, while the U.S. market shows signs of recovering on a month-to-month basis.
