It’s been a strange year for electric vehicles (electric cars) so far. Thanks to Elon Musk, Tesla from grace. As the brand is synonymous with electric cars, this seems to indicate that electric cars are in trouble. As it turns out, nothing goes further than the facts.
ARS Technica, an analyst who quotes Rho movement, Global EV sales grew by 30% Compared to this time last year. Even in the U.S., sales were reportedly up 28% compared to this last year. This may actually be because people are trying to be ahead of anti-electronic management.

For electric cars, this is already a hot start in 2025. Rho Sports In previous reports stated Sales in January 2025 were about 18% higher than the overall overall in January 2024. Europe and the United States have earned 21% and 22% respectively, and China has continued to grow well.

Rho Motion shows that this is due to the weight tax on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that started this year. This could lead many people to buy electric cars in December before the taxes take effect. Meanwhile, Germany grew by 40% in January 2025, up 40% at the same time as a year ago.

Tesla remains one of the biggest players in the electric car game Despite a lot of controversy Focusing on the brand.
However, there are signs that the company is adversely affected by Musk’s important role in the U.S. government and right-wing politics. Early signs have been shown Tesla’s sales plummeted. At the same time, I’ve used Tesla Price drops beside Company’s stock.
Overall sales of electric vehicles may be on sale, but Tesla may still be in trouble.
