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.
