  • ten best -selling EVs in the US so far in 2026, link here

247,226 EVs were sold in the US in Q2, up 14.7% from the first quarter.

Global EV sales topped 2 million in June, but the headline numbers hide a widening split between the world’s biggest markets. 
Europe is on a tear, thanks to government incentives, high gas prices, and a growing lineup of affordable EVs. 
North America, on the other hand, has continued to lose ground since the Trump administration ended the US federal EV tax credit last September. And in China, automakers are increasingly looking overseas as domestic demand cools.
