The data, from Cox Automotive, shows that the six models tracked sold just 42,000 units in the first nine months of 2026, down from 89,000 in the same period in 2025.
The fall in sales comes as the Trump administration has rolled back incentives for electric vehicles, and as the cost of batteries has risen. The data shows that the six models tracked sold just 42,000 units in the first nine months of 2026, down from 89,000 in the same period in 2025. The fall is being driven by a lack of demand, with buyers put off by high prices and a lack of charging infrastructure.
