"This is the exact wrong moment for automakers to lose their nerve in the
transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
A decade of consistent growth has culminated in record-breaking EV sales. More
than 1.2 million new light-duty EVs were sold through the first three quarters
of 2025, higher than any prior year; the EV sales share reached nearly 12% in
the third quarter.
More broadly, over 7 million EVs were sold from 2015 to September 2025, with
more than half occurring in the past 3 years.
American drivers want EVs, and the data prove it. Yet several U.S.
manufacturers have backtracked on their commitment to the EV transition.
If these automakers retreat now, European, Chinese, and South Korean
manufacturers will eagerly fill the gap. The decisions made by automakers and
policymakers today will determine who leads the next era of clean vehicles—and
who gets left behind."
