In 2025, 22% of all passenger cars sold in the U.S. were hybrids, including both plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles. In this category, hybrid models were increasing their market share, while the share of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids was decreasing. In the second half of 2025, there was initially an increase, followed by a sharp decline in electric vehicle sales, which was related to the expiration of tax incentives at the end of September.
Different types of vehicles have varying impacts on the energy market. Pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, which can be charged from the grid or autonomous sources, affect the demand for electricity. In contrast, standard hybrids do not have the capability to be charged from the grid and, therefore, do not directly influence electricity consumption.
“The most active sales of electric vehicles occur in the luxury car segment. In 2025, luxury cars accounted for 14% of the total number of passenger cars in the U.S., and among them, the share of electric vehicles reached 23%. The expiration of tax incentives for 'pure' vehicles had an equal impact on sales of both luxury and mass-market models,” the agency explained.
As of 2024, electric vehicles made up only 2% of all registered passenger cars in the country.
Kyrgyzstan imported more than 10,000 electric vehicles from China. In 2026, Kyrgyzstan received a quota for the duty-free import of 15,000 electric vehicles as part of its membership in the EAEU. The basic rate of import customs duty on electric vehicle imports is 15%.
