Last year, General Motors sold the most electric vehicles in Canada, edging out Tesla, Ford, and other contenders.
In 2025, GM captured more than 21% of the country’s EV market, powered by 25,000 total registrations across 13 models including Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC offerings.
These figures place GM ahead of Tesla, with roughly of 17% new sale marketshare in 2025, and Ford at around 15%.
Other contenders in Canada’s EV market include Hyundai (11%) share, Kia (9%), and Toyota (8%).
“Canadians want choice and GM Canada is delivering,” suggests Shane Peever, who serves as vice president of sales, service, and marketing for GM Canada.
The lineup from GM includes the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and GMC Hummer EV, as well as the Cadillac OPTIQ, Cadillac OPTIQ-V, Cadillac LYRIQ, and Cadillac Escalade IQL, plus the Equinox EV, Blazer EV, and Bolt.
“We’re Canada’s EV market leader, and in 2025 we also led the overall industry for the third year in a row,” Peever noted. “From electric vehicles to our strong gas-powered lineup, we’re meeting customers where they are.”
Tesla did manage to earn the number one spot for individual vehicle, with the Model Y winning out on that metric.
However, Tesla lacks a variety of different models overall, contributing to its lower total share.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV was the second most registered electric vehicle in Canada in 2025, helping Chevrolet capture 13% per cent of the national EV market, according to a statement from GM.
Canada has been aggressively investing in public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, although their efforts to promote EV usage have not always aligned with reality.
