Following a dip caused by the expiration of federal tax incentives, electric‑vehicle sales in the United States have started to rise again, led by strong performance from Toyota, Rivian and Subaru.

U.S. electric‑vehicle (EV) sales have rebounded in the fourth quarter, erasing the dip that followed the expiration of federal tax credits.

Quarterly sales surge

The latest data show a noticeable uptick in registrations, with total EV deliveries climbing back toward pre‑incentive levels. Analysts attribute the recovery to renewed consumer interest and strategic pricing moves by automakers.

Toyota leads the comeback

Toyota’s new battery‑electric models have resonated with buyers, pushing the Japanese giant to the top of the U.S. EV sales chart for the quarter. The company’s aggressive rollout of affordable EVs appears to be paying off.

Rivian and Subaru gain momentum

Rivian’s R1T pickup and R1S SUV have seen stronger-than‑expected demand, while Subaru’s electrified lineup, bolstered by the Solterra, contributed to the overall market lift.

  • Toyota’s EVs topped quarterly sales
  • Rivian’s R1T and R1S recorded record orders
  • Subaru’s Solterra added to the growth

Industry observers note that the rebound could signal a more sustainable growth trajectory, especially as manufacturers expand charging infrastructure and introduce lower‑cost battery technologies.
