Tesla Sees Big Share While US EV Market Flattens in Q1 2026

US EV sales fell 27% year-over-year in Q1 2026 to about 216,000 units as subsidies fade and profitability remains challenging for most incumbents. Tesla dominated with a 54% market share, led by a near-23% rise in Model Y deliveries to ~79,000. Toyota also grew to roughly 10,000 EVs (~4.6% share). Ford and VW plunged around 70% and 90%, respectively, while GM held a bit over 10%. If higher gas prices boost EV demand, the market could recover, but the sector’s near-term profitability remains fragile without subsidies.

Spring spark lifts used-vehicle prices ahead of peak selling season

Cox Automotive's Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index rose 4% year over year in February to 212.3, signaling higher wholesale prices as dealers stock up for a robust spring market. Demand remains solid with higher sales conversions, aided by expected tax refunds, though the Iran conflict adds near-term risk. January's average used-vehicle listing price was $25,533, and Cox projects wholesale prices ending 2026 roughly 2% higher than December 2025.

Used Vehicle Prices Show Signs of Stabilization in 2023

Wholesale used vehicle prices in the U.S. increased for the first time since March, according to Cox Automotive's Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index. While prices remain elevated compared to historical levels, they are down 7.7% from August 2022. Tight inventories and expected sales levels are expected to prevent substantial pricing declines for the remainder of the year. Retail prices for consumers typically follow changes in wholesale prices. Used vehicle prices have been high due to the Covid pandemic and supply chain issues, leading to low supply of new vehicles and record-high prices. Cox Automotive predicts a slow and gradual recovery in wholesale prices to pre-pandemic levels by 2028.

The $20K Car: A Dwindling Choice for Americans

The Mitsubishi Mirage is currently the only car on the market under $20,000, with the average new car price in the US now exceeding $48,000. The scarcity of small cars and the growing popularity of trucks and SUVs have driven up prices, along with inventory issues and increased costs. General Manager of Mitsubishi of Orange Park, Lou Tilahun, believes the rising prices are due to parts shortages and shipping costs. Analysts at Cox Automotive predict that $20,000 cars will soon be a thing of the past, and Mitsubishi has announced that production of the Mirage will be ending soon.
