The ranking confirms that the best-selling electric cars in Argentina are compact vehicles, designed for city use and with relatively more accessible prices, still far from the mass electrification of the SUV or pickup truck segments.
A small market, but with a clear change in trend Although electric cars represented less than 0.3% of the total automotive market, their growth was much higher than the general average. Although the total volume is still low compared to the general market, the year-on-year jump confirms that electric mobility has ceased to be a marginal phenomenon. According to Noticias Argentinas agency, based on the ACARA Market Report – December 2025, 1,279 100% electric vehicles were patented during the year, more than double in 2024 (557 units), representing a year-on-year growth of 129.6%. In 2025, Argentina patented 612,178 new vehicles (0 km), with a year-on-year increase of 47.8%, but no other segment showed an acceleration comparable to that of electric cars. The consolidation of BYD, the advance of Chinese brands, and the diversification of the offer explain why 2025 marked a turning point. At the same time, already known models like the Chevrolet Spark and premium proposals like the Volvo EX30 managed to remain among the most chosen.

Buenos Aires, January 8 (NA) – The electric car market in Argentina closed 2025 with record growth, driven by the arrival of new brands, a greater variety of models, and an offer more aligned with urban use. In this context, the model ranking clearly shows which electric cars really managed to achieve sustained sales.
Which models led electric car sales in 2025 Leadership in the segment was in the hands of Chinese brands and urban products, with BYD as the main protagonist. With more models on the way and slowly advancing infrastructure, the challenge for 2026 will be to turn this percentage growth into real volume.
