Tesla Inc. has lost its majority share of newly registered electric vehicle (EV) sales in California, marking a significant shift in a state that accounts for nearly one-third of all zero-emission vehicle purchases in the United States. California has long been a stronghold for Tesla and the broader EV sector, with the company historically dominating new electric car registrations. However, recent data indicates that Tesla no longer holds the majority of these registrations, suggesting increasing competition from other automakers and a diversified consumer market. The decline in Tesla’s market share reflects the growing presence of competing EV brands and models, including those from legacy automakers and new entrants. This trend signals a maturing EV market in California, where consumer choices are expanding and the dominance of a single manufacturer is waning. Industry analysts view the development as a milestone in the broader adoption of electric vehicles across different manufacturers, as California continues to drive national trends in environmental transportation policy and sustainability goals.
