Event summary
In January, EV registrations in the U.S. dropped significantly by 41% year-over-year following the expiration of the federal EV tax credit in September 2025. Tesla's US sales declined by 26%, attributed to the tax credit's removal. Despite the overall market downturn, several automakers including Cadillac, Toyota Motors, Lucid Group, Maserati, and Lexus reported year-over-year sales growth, mainly due to lower volumes or new model introductions.
