US EV Sales November 2025: Full Model-Wise List & What NRIs Need to Know Before Importing or Investing
November 2025 delivered a reality check to America’s electric vehicle boom. The $7,500 federal tax credit vanished on September 30, prices jumped overnight, and U.S. buyers suddenly became very price-sensitive. The result? Pure EV market share slipped to ~6% (around 76,000 units), Tesla bled volume, and Detroit fought back with surprisingly strong affordable offerings.
For NRIs tracking the US auto market — whether you’re planning to ship a car back home, invest in EV stocks, or just want to stay ahead of the curve — this month’s numbers tell a fascinating story. Here is the complete, model-by-model ranking of every major electric vehicle sold in the United States in November 2025.

Quick Insights Every NRI Should Know Right Now
- Tesla Model Y is still the #1 exported used EV to Dubai, Singapore & Jordan — November dip means better deals coming in Q1 2026.
- Chevrolet Equinox EV & upcoming Bolt EUV (2026) will flood the used market at under $20K by 2028 — perfect for India import under new EV policy (if homologation rules relax).
- Korean EVs (Ioniq 5, EV6, EV9) are now cheaper to buy new in India than in post-credit USA — factor this before shipping.
- Cybertruck & Rivian cannot be imported to India due to size/pedestrian safety laws — don’t waste time.
- GM Ultium vehicles (Equinox, Blazer, Lyriq, Prologue, Silverado) share batteries & parts — huge plus for long-term ownership outside USA.
The American EV party isn’t over — it just moved from the VIP lounge to the real world without subsidies. For NRIs, this creates the best buying window in two years: more choices, falling used prices, and clearer winners.
