In 2025, global EV sales continued growing — topping 20 million units worldwide. But in the United States, the story was more complicated.

Hybrid vehicles gained market share, EV growth slowed after federal tax credits expired, and automakers began adjusting their electrification strategies.

In this episode, we break down the full 2025 data and explain:

• U.S. EV market share trends
• Hybrid growth rates and why they held steady
• The impact of tax credit expiration in late 2025
• Interest rates and affordability pressures
• Charging infrastructure perception vs reality
• Insurance and repair cost concerns
• Why automakers are recalibrating their EV timelines

Is this a temporary pause in EV momentum — or a longer-term shift toward hybrid dominance in America?

If you’re trying to understand where the market is really heading in 2026 and beyond, this episode breaks it down clearly and objectively.
