Rivian R1S comes into the best -selling top 5 EV

Tesla continues to direct the EV sales tables in the United States, but its sales fell 10% in February

With the R1 Rivian from $ 75,900 in the United States, he is sure to say that nobody expected him to compete with the more affordable and daily EV volume. But in January, the R1S managed to obtain a surprisingly impressive place as a new best -selling EV in the fifth best sold in the country, placing it alongside a fairly elite company.

Rivian himself does not publish monthly sales figures, but according to data from Cox Automotive, the only EVs to exaggerate the R1 were the Tesla Model Y, Tesla Model 3, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Honda Prologue. Although the exact sales figures of these models were not revealed, the data show that Rivian moved more than 4,000 vehicles in February.

It is not shock that Tesla continues to dominate the EV market, but its grip is slightly moving. In February, Tesla’s overall sales dropped by 10%, largely due to a sharp drop of 32.5% of Cybertruck deliveries and 17.5% less of 3 models sold. Even the best -selling model has seen a modest drop of 3.1%. It is clear that the company’s previous growth thrust can slow down, but they are still in charge.

Looking at the American market more broadly, new sales of electric vehicles have decreased slightly in February with 95,692 total sales. It was a fall of 5.9% compared to January 2025, but up 10.5% compared to February of last year. Likewise, the sales of EV used fell 4.7% compared to January, but climbed 34.2% from February 2024 to 24,875 units, which represents 1.7% of all used cars sold. The market share of new electric vehicles sold fell slightly at 7.7%.

With regard to the second -hand electric vehicle market, Tesla continues to reign supreme, representing 39.9% dominant of all sales of electric vehicles used last month, although its sales fell 9.2% compared to January.

On average, new and used electric vehicles continue to sell more than their internal combustion engine counterparts. However, this is mainly due to the wider price range of ICE vehicles, which reduces its average transaction price. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive from the start, leading to a higher average.

In February, the average transaction price (ATP) for a new EV was $ 55,273, reflecting an increase of 3.7% compared to the previous year and significantly higher than the ATP of a new glacial vehicle, which was at $ 47,555. Electric vehicles used are not a good deal either, with the average ATP for a used VE at $ 38,057, much more than the ATP of $ 33,134 for a used ice vehicle.
