It’s lastly time to see what occurred to varied electrical autos in the US after the lack of the $7,500 EV tax credit score, and we’re getting mainly each sort of factor below the solar.

Cadillac EV gross sales truly rose 12 months over 12 months within the 4th quarter. Kia EV gross sales dropped by a bit greater than 50%. Nissan EV gross sales completely crashed. Now we’ve received Volkswagen, and its outcomes are blended.

The Volkswagen ID.4 didn’t have a superb 4th quarter. With simply 248 gross sales, its numbers within the USA are negligible, and that was a 62% decline from the 4th quarter of 2024, when the corporate delivered 646 ID.4 electrical crossovers. And it is a tremendous far cry from the 12,470 models delivered within the third quarter!

Throughout the total 12 months, although, the ID.4 did see gross sales progress. It went from 17,021 gross sales in 2024 to 22,373 gross sales in 2025, 31.4% progress. That’s fairly a superb improve 12 months over 12 months for the US market.

It rose from 1,162 deliveries within the 4th quarter of 2024 to 1,206 deliveries within the 4th quarter of 2025. That’s 3.8% progress. In comparison with the 4th quarter, when 2,469 autos have been delivered, it’s nearly a 50% drop. That’s a terrific outcome whenever you have a look at what’s been taking place to different fashions. Maybe it’s not the blockbuster mass-market mannequin a few of us hoped it might be, but it surely’s apparently received some resilience and perseverance in a harsh market because of its distinctive look and enchantment.

Throughout the total 12 months, the ID. Buzz rose from 1,162 gross sales to six,140 gross sales. May the mannequin break 10,000 gross sales in 2026? Maybe that’s fanciful and too optimistic, however I nonetheless love the electrical van and imagine in it a bit.
