Florida rises in national rankings for electric vehicle sales

Floridians are feeling a bit more plugged in these days. 

At least when it comes to buying electric vehicles.

This from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which compiled a state-by-state analysis of the U.S. electric vehicle market in the second quarter. Released Oct. 16, the Get Connected Electric Vehicle Report from the Washington, D.C. trade association and lobbying group summarizes EV sales, purchasing trends and charging infrastructure nationwide. 

EVs in Florida, the report found, represented 10.49% of all new light-duty vehicle sales statewide in the quarter. That’s up from 10.07% in the first quarter and 9.46% from the 2024 second quarter. Florida is pacing slightly out of the national EV market share, which was 9.5% in the second quarter. 

In analyzing the first six months of 2025, Florida is also on the move nationally, gaining 1.85 percentage points in EV market share, the report found. Only Michigan — home to Ford, GM and the parent company of Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler — had a bigger market share gain, with a 4.1 percentage point increase. The undisputed EV King, California, actually posted the third-largest decline, 2.5 percentage points, but at 23% it remains the overall No. 1 by a healthy margin.
