Top Selling Electric Vehicles in the World — February 2026

Global electric vehicle sales fell 11% year-on-year in February 2026, primarily due to the withdrawal of incentives in the US and China, the two largest EV markets. Despite this, markets outside these regions saw a 36% increase in EV sales, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) growing faster than plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Tesla dominated the top-selling models, with the Model Y rising 53% year-on-year, while Toyota’s refreshed BZ4X entered the top 10 for the first time in years. Chinese manufacturers like Geely and BYD continue to adapt, with Geely’s Xingyuan gaining ground internationally amid weaker domestic demand. Overall, the EV market remains robust, with expectations of strong growth in the latter half of 2026.
