America’s most affordable EV with over 315 miles of range, as GM calls it, is quickly winning over buyers. Starting at under $35,000, the Chevy Equinox EV is expected to trail only the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 in sales this year.
Chevy Equinox EV registrations climb 722% in June 2025
After introducing the lower-priced LT model late last year, starting at just $34,995, Chevy’s electric SUV has become one of the most popular EVs in the US.
Through the first half of the year, the Equinox EV drove Chevy past Ford to become the second-best-selling EV brand behind Tesla.
According to the most recent data from S&P Global Mobility (via Automotive News), Chevy remained in second in June after EV registrations rose 152% to 9,517 units.
The Chevy Equinox EV led the growth with registrations surging 722% to 6,239. Registrations of the Silverado EV nearly doubled to 1,035.
Tesla remained the market leader, despite registrations slipping 6% to 57,260 vehicles in June. Although the Model 3 saw higher demand with registrations up 31% to 17,015, the Cybertruck slipped by 53% to 2,184, the data showed.
Through the first half of 2025, Tesla’s registrations fell by 7.5% to 271,050. It now accounts for 43.7% of the EV market, down 6.8% from the same period last year.
Chevy’s share of the EV market, on the other hand, more than doubled to 7.7% in the first half of the year. Chevrolet had 47,506 EV registrations in the first half of 2025, up 143% from last year.
Ford placed third after EV registrations fell 9.5% to 5,759 in June. In the first half of 2025, Ford’s share of the EV market dropped 0.7% to 6.7%.
Honda (+2.5%), Acura (+1.7%), and Cadillac (+1.1%) gained market share in the first half, while Kia (-2.6%), Hyundai (-0.8%), and Rivian (-0.8%) lost some.
GM is coming off its highest July sales month yet with over 19,000 EVs sold. The Chevy Equinox EV set a record with 8,500 vehicles sold, the best for any electric vehicle in the US, outside of Tesla.
Could sales have been even higher? Earlier this summer, a California-based dealer reached out to Electrek, claiming that it could have sold even more Equinox EVs. However, some buyers were waiting over a month to receive their vehicle.
With the $7,500 EV tax credit set to expire at the end of September, GM is offering a few discounts worth considering on its electric models.
With leases starting as low as $289 per month, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV is easily one of the best deals you can still snag right now. If you’re ready to test one out for yourself, you can use our link to find Chevy Equinox EVs near you (trusted affiliate link).
