Tesla remained the top electric vehicle (EV) seller in the U.S. by a wide margin in 2024, gaining almost half of the emerging market and outselling the next several models combined with its own lineup, as shown in the latest data.
Cox Automotive released its Q4 and 2024 EV sales report last week, showing estimates of how many EVs were sold by brand and model, and highlighting how many units Tesla is delivering compared to other automakers for another year in a row. Total EV sales in the U.S. grew 7.3 percent year over year, amounting to a little over 1.3 million units—of which Tesla sold 633,762, or 48.7 percent.
Tesla’s total sales amounted to more than double those of the rest of the top 10 EVs sold in 2024, a list which was comprised of vehicles from General Motors (GM), Hyundai, Ford, and Rivian.
The Model Y and Model 3 were the top two EVs sold in 2024, with 372,613 and 189,903 units, respectively, as followed by the Ford Mustang Mach-E (51,745), the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (44,400), and the Cybertruck (38,965). By comparison, Tesla’s top three models outsold the rest of the top 10 EVs, which totaled 246,882, made up of the Ford F-150 Lightning, the Honda Prologue, the Chevy Equinox, the Cadillac Lyriq, and the Rivian R1S. The rest of the industry’s EVs combined made up 667,321 units, beating out Tesla’s total sales by just 33,559 units.
