General Motors has taken the lead as Canada's top-selling electric vehicle maker, surpassing Tesla for the first time. This transition, revealed in an Instagram post by GM Canada, is based on vehicle registration data from the last quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. GM sold approximately 15,000 EVs in Q4 2024 and 6,000 in Q1 2025, while Tesla experienced a significant decline in registrations. This shift is attributed to GM's diverse brand portfolio and changing government incentives affecting both companies' sales.
Tesla has lost its spot as the best-selling electric car brand in Canada, making way for General Motors to come in and take the crown.
A GM spokesperson said that the claim is "based on Canadian vehicle registrations for the third quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025," and that "the data shows GM as the number one EV seller in Canada over that period."
In the last quarter of 2024, GM sold roughly 15,000 EVs in Canada, while the first quarter of this year saw sales of about 6,000 EVs, according to the company's records.
Both companies saw their registration numbers go down at the beginning of this year because the Canadian government stopped its iZEV rebate program for battery-powered cars in February.
