Third-quarter deliveries exceeded 486,000 EVs, marking a decline from the record level reached in the same period last year. The shortfall reflects a cooling from the previous year's peak, when deliveries hit an all-time high.
Despite the year-over-year decline, the delivery trajectory is described as moving in a positive direction, suggesting the automaker's EV volumes are improving rather than continuing to slide. The figure underscores a gradual recovery in EV demand after the record-setting pace of a year earlier.
