For years, electric cars in the U.S. were synonymous with a single brand: Tesla. But as Elon Musk’s company pivots toward AI and robotics, and as rivals step up their EV game, a non-Tesla contender is moving up the sales charts.
That vehicle is the Chevy Equinox EV. General Motors sold 57,945 units of the electric crossover in the U.S. last year, ranking right behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. That’s double the number of Equinox EVs GM sold in 2024, proving that Americans love EVs that are both affordable and competitive.
But GM sold these vehicles with the help of the federal tax credit. How resilient demand looks in a post-credit world will become clearer in the months ahead.
Here’s what else is happening:
The Jaguar I-Pace will be around for a while, but the Alphabet-owned robotaxi company is moving beyond it soon.
Hyundai plans to introduce humanoid robots into its production process by 2028.
The EV tax credit is gone. But automakers are still offering incredible deals. Here's what you need to know.
