"Total EV in the United States sales declined by 2%, even as they climbed globally. But the granular data is a lot more volatile than that, and the worst is yet to come. That's why this is a particularly dissonant year for winners and losers: Some of the brands that posted the best U.S. EV sales gains are actually in the most trouble, and vice versa. So what does all of this mean for the year ahead and beyond?"
"Its EV gains are mainly driven by the EX90, its software-defined electric flagship. Far more advanced than previous Volvo EVs, it offers over 300 miles of range in a segment where Volvo consistently overperforms. Yet the EX90 didn't. Early examples were plagued with software issues, with many bugs surfacing during my brief first drive. Updates have improved things since, but Volvo is betting on the EX60 to reset its electric momentum."
2025 brought major disruption to the electric-vehicle market, driven by geopolitical tensions, shortages, regulatory shifts and the elimination of the $7,500 tax credit. U.S. EV sales declined 2% while global EV sales rose, producing uneven, volatile results across brands. Some manufacturers posted strong U.S. gains even as underlying business challenges mounted. Volvo's U.S. EV sales surged 96.3% to 10,821 units, driven largely by the EX90 flagship, which offered 300+ miles but suffered early software issues. Volvo plans the EX60 to sustain momentum amid competition, import tariffs and broader sales pressures.
