Nearly 1 in 3 cars sold in the state were electric vehicles from July 1 to Sept. 30, 2025; Colorado has surpassed 210,000 EV registrations
Denver—Colorado ranked No. 1 in the nation in electric vehicle (EV) sales by percentage for the 3rd quarter of 2025, according to the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. From July 1 to Sept. 30, 32.4% of new vehicle sales in Colorado were EVs and, across all of 2025, EVs have made up 27.3% of sales.
The 3rd quarter numbers mark the highest single-quarter percentage for any state, surpassing 4th quarter 2025 when Colorado reached 31.5% EV market share.
Despite the end to federal EV support, Colorado is continuing to offer incentives for electric vehicle buyers. Earlier this month, the state announced that, beginning Nov. 3, its Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC) rebates will increase from $6,000 to $9,000 for new EV purchases and leases and $4,000 to $6,000 for used EV purchases and leases. The VXC program is a key initiative enabling income-qualified Coloradans to access EVs.
These numbers reflect sales leading up to the end of federal EV tax credits on Oct. 1, which offered up to $7,500 for the purchase or lease of a new EV and $4,000 for a used EV.
