Tesla sales increase before federal tax credit ends
Los Angeles Times
|October 03, 2025
The company’s electric vehicle sales rose 7% in the quarter ending in September.
Tesla electric vehicle sales jumped last quarter, as buyers rushed to take advantage of an expiring federal tax credit.
The company’s EV sales rose 7% in the three months through September compared to a year earlier, mirroring a spike in overall EV sales across the country.
The $7,500 credit for new electric vehicles was eliminated on Sept. 30 by the Trump administration.
In July, national sales of new EVs jumped 19% compared to a year earlier, according to Cox Automotive. That same month in Orange County, 32% of new vehicles sold were all-electric, up from 21% in May.
