The EV market in June showed signs of steady momentum, even as underlying dynamics continued to shift. New EV sales softened slightly, but market share climbed. Used EV sales dipped month over month but remained sharply higher than a year ago. Inventory levels, pricing and incentives all indicate a market adjusting to evolving consumer demand and the waning influence of policy-driven support.
New and Used EV Sales – June
New EV Sales: In June, new EV sales totaled 103,945 units, marking a modest 1.4% decline from May. Despite the dip in volume, market share rose to 8%, up from 6.9% the previous month. On a year-over-year basis, sales declined 3.5%, a smaller decline than the overall market and an indication of the general market slowing. At the brand level, the top five performers were Tesla, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Ford and Cadillac. Market leader Tesla saw a 2.9% month-over-month increase, while Chevrolet posted a robust 24.4% gain, helping General Motors maintain its position as the second-leading EV manufacturer. Kia also staged a notable comeback, with sales surging 48.2% to 2,094 units, signaling renewed momentum for the brand.
Used EV Sales: The used EV market declined 7.5% month over month in June to 32,043 units, holding a 2.1% share of the overall used-vehicle market. Still, year-over-year sales jumped 51.3%, signaling strong long-term momentum. Tesla remained dominant, though its share dipped to 45.2%, with the Model 3, Model Y and Model S ranking as the top three bestsellers. The Chevrolet Bolt EV edged out the Model X, placing fourth overall. Mercedes-Benz was one of the few major brands to post a monthly gain (5.4%), driven by a 38.6% rise in EQB sales. Audi and Porsche also saw growth, up 19.6% and 3.6%, respectively, highlighting strength in the luxury EV segment.
New and Used EV Days’ Supply – June
New EV Days’ Supply: In June, new EV days’ supply rose 9.9% month over month to 125, though it remains 14.8% lower than the same period last year. For the third consecutive month, EV inventory has outpaced ICE+ by more than 30 days — potentially benefiting consumers through greater availability and more competitive pricing, especially as the window for federal EV tax credits begins to close. Supply levels varied by brand: Audi, Volvo and Porsche posted the largest increases in EV days’ supply. Nissan remains the lowest for the second consecutive month.
Used EV Days’ Supply: The days’ supply of used electric vehicles increased by 1.7% in June, effectively rising by just one day to 41, still 9.9% below year-ago levels and indicative of continued tight inventory. For the third consecutive month, the gap between used EVs and ICE+ vehicles remained under five days. As with the new EV market, days’ supply for used EVs varies widely by make: Tesla remains among the lowest at 33 days, while GMC leads at 74 days.
New and Used EV Prices – June
New EV ATP: In June, the average transaction price (ATP) for new electric vehicles dipped slightly to $56,910, reflecting a 0.6% decrease from May and a 2.8% decline year over year. The price gap between EVs and ICE+ vehicles narrowed to $8,785, down from $9,260 the previous month. EV incentives rose for the third consecutive month, reaching a record 14.8% of ATP, or $8,451 – more than twice the incentive level offered on ICE+ vehicles. This underscores the continued push to make EVs more accessible amid softening demand. Seven EV models had average transaction prices below $40,000, with the Nissan Leaf remaining the most affordable at $32,047. The Chevrolet Equinox, priced at $39,731, led in sales volume, making it the top-selling EV in this price range.
Used EV Listing Price: The used electric vehicle market saw a modest price increase in June, with the average listing price rising to $36,046, up 0.3% from the previous month and 3.6% year over year. The price gap between used EVs and ICE+ vehicles remained narrow, below $2,000.Importantly, 43% of used EVs sold were priced under $25,000, highlighting the growing affordability in this segment. The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, the top-selling used EVs, both fell within this range, averaging $22,998 and $29,111, respectively.
What’s Next
As the EV market enters the second half of 2025, momentum remains strong. Q2 sales rose 4.9% over Q1, and total EV sales for the first half of the year hit a record 607,089, up 1.5% year over year, as reported in the Kelley Blue Book EV Sales Report. With the federal EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act set to expire at the end of September, the next few months are likely to bring a wave of compelling EV offers, creating a critical window for consumers to act.
However, the landscape is shifting from one shaped by policy support to one increasingly defined by market realities.
Amid this evolving environment, the used EV segment is maturing, bringing greater model variety and more competitive pricing. These trends are opening new doors for buyers seeking long-term value and more accessible entry points.
But the outlook for Q4 is far less certain. The elimination of government-backed incentives and the emergence of new tariff headwinds signal a more volatile phase for the industry. The training wheels are coming off, and the transition to electrification will no longer be buoyed by incentives alone.
Automakers and retailers alike will need to navigate this next chapter with agility, as the EV landscape becomes more complex and demanding of true market resilience.
The EV Market Monitor gauges the health of the new and used electric vehicle (EV) markets by monitoring sales volume, days’ supply and average pricing. Each metric will be measured month over month and year over year. For a detailed new-EV sales report, see the Q2 Electric Vehicle Report, the official quarterly report of EV data.
