U.S. electric vehicle sales figures just came in for Q4 2025—and the numbers tell an interesting story about market shifts. According to recent data, quarterly EV sales hit 302,500 units, marking the weakest quarter since Q4 2022. That's a significant pullback that reflects broader consumer spending patterns and economic headwinds affecting the auto sector. For those tracking macro trends and market cycles, this kind of soft demand in traditionally resilient sectors often signals deeper economic momentum changes worth monitoring.

Wow, EV sales are so bad... Is it true? Feels like it's time to lower the price. The economy isn't doing well, I saw it coming a long time ago. These Q4 numbers remind me of when the year-over-year difference wasn't much, and now it's happening again? Oh my, what is this hinting at?

Damn, EV sales are so poor? The economy is really going to cool down. --- Sales of new energy vehicles are slowing down. What does this indicate... consumer spending is really declining. --- Only 302,500 units, oh my, even worse than two years ago. I said it, the hype should have ended long ago. --- Another sign of an economic recession. Who would still dare to take over the new energy market? --- Wow, the weakest quarter in Q4... the market is really changing. --- It seems everyone has no money left, can't even afford electric cars anymore, hilarious.

Damn, EV sales have returned to 2022 levels? The economy is really getting worse and worse --- This decline isn't just weak consumption; it's clearly a sign that a bubble is about to burst --- 302,500 units... sounds like a lot, but compared to previous growth momentum, it's definitely a cliff --- Interestingly, everyone is still hyping new energy, but the sales data is telling the truth --- The economic fundamentals are in trouble; it's no wonder that sensitive indicators like EV can't be hidden --- It's already 2025 and we're still looking at Q4 data; the market has long since made its predictions --- Are they just forcing themselves to fit into the "market cycle"? Honestly, it just means consumer power has collapsed --- It's really hard to move it now... but we still need to see if there can be a rebound later --- Starting from 2022, calling it a weak season? That shows this isn't just a short-term adjustment --- If these numbers get out, how many institutions will start calling the bottom, haha

ngl the sub-optimal incentive structures around ev adoption are arguably showing their true colors here... path dependency cutting deep, historical precedent suggests we're just seeing the governance primitives realign tbh

Oh no, EV has indeed cooled down this time, hitting a three-year low Sales are sluggish... the economy really has problems Wait, is this the signal? Is the macro economy collapsing? Is the era coming where even EVs can't be saved? Honestly, I'm really not interested anymore, brother

Damn, EV sales have dropped to a three-year low? Is this really the end or just a cyclical adjustment? The market is so tough, even electric vehicles can't be saved... Wait, does this data indicate that the entire consumer sector is shrinking? We need to be cautious. Is another "once-starred track" about to fade out? The entire economy is so weak that the electric vehicle sector can't hold up for much longer. Sell, sell, sell... Anyway, the trend has changed. If this rebound in the second half of the year doesn't happen, we might need to reassess the investment logic in new energy. 302500 is really disappointing; what was the figure for the same period last year? Macro data doesn't look good, everyone. The outlook is worrying.
