New light vehicle sales in July are expected to be up slightly, supported by the next pull-ahead wave, this time for electric vehicles , /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global Mobility projects new light vehicle sales volume in July 2025 will reach 1.33 million units. This would translate to an estimated sales pace of 15.9 million units (seasonally adjusted annual rate: SAAR), up mildly from the 15.5 million-unit pace averaged from May-June.  "Overall, auto demand in July is expected to remain modest, as affordability concerns remain entrenched.  The pace of sales is expected to improve compared to the previous two months as the market digests the likely beginning of a second wave of pull-ahead demand in 2025. This time sales will be buoyed by a run up in battery electric vehicle (BEV) in advance of the September 30th expiration of federal EV incentives," said Chris Hopson, principal analyst at S&P Global Mobility. "While the expiration of federal EV incentives will create longer-term headwinds for BEV growth, price-conscious consumers looking to take advantage of the savings are likely to do so before the end of the third quarter, helping to push overall new vehicle volumes, although to a lesser degree than realized back in March and April."

The auto policy implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) could further temper long-term BEV demand growth. In the immediate term, even more month-to-month BEV sales and market share volatility is anticipated, as EV share mix from July-September is expected to advance, followed by much lower take rates in the fourth quarter of 2025.  BEV share of sales in July is expected to reach over 9% (compared to the year-to-date average of 7.3% through May 2025) About S&P Global MobilityAt S&P Global Mobility, we provide invaluable insights derived from unmatched automotive data, enabling our customers to anticipate change and make decisions with conviction.
