The Chevrolet Equinox EV emerged as the best-selling non-Tesla electric vehicle in the United States for 2025, with 57,945 units sold. Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 continued to dominate the market, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5 followed closely. General Motors reported significant growth in its overall EV sales amid challenges from the end of federal tax credits.
In 2025, Tesla maintained its stronghold in the U.S. electric vehicle market, with the Model Y leading as the top seller at 292,000 units and the Model 3 close behind at 140,000 units. However, among non-Tesla models, the Chevrolet Equinox EV claimed the third overall spot and the top position for its category, according to sales figures announced by General Motors on Monday.
GM reported selling 57,945 Equinox EVs in 2025, roughly double the volume from 2024 when the model was available only part of the year. This success contributed to GM's total U.S. EV sales of nearly 170,000 units, reflecting 48% growth over the previous year. The Equinox EV's appeal stems from its over 300 miles of range and a mid-$30,000 price tag, which was further boosted by the $7,500 federal EV tax credit available through September 2025.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E, the previous year's non-Tesla leader, recorded 51,620 sales in 2025, securing fourth place overall. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 followed with 47,039 units, and the Honda Prologue rounded out the top non-Tesla performers at 39,194 units. For context, the discontinued Chevy Bolt EV/EUV had sold over 62,000 units in 2023.
Sales for the Equinox EV dipped in the fourth quarter, with only 5,111 units moved as the industry faced the expiration of the tax credit. Looking ahead, upcoming models like the third-generation Nissan Leaf, a reborn Chevy Bolt under $30,000, and Rivian's $45,000 R2 could intensify competition in 2026.
