The market share of hybrid electric vehicles continued to rise annually in the United States during the first quarter of 2025 while the share of battery electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles was “relatively flat,” the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a May 30 statement.

EVs run purely on electricity. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have a gas-powered internal combustion engine as well as a battery-fed electric motor which work together to run the vehicle.
