'Cars Nobody Wanted' Set a U.S. Sales Record the Same Year

The claim that electric cars are vehicles 'nobody wanted' is mostly false. U.S. EV sales hit an all-time quarterly record of 438,487 in Q3 2025 (a record 10.5 percent share), more than 20 million EVs sold worldwide in 2025 (a quarter of new cars), and even after the federal tax credit expired, full-year 2025 was down only about 2 percent, the second-best year on record. Theo rates it Mostly False.
