U.S. electric vehicle sales posted a rare decline in April, falling by roughly 5% even as the broader auto market grew by double digits, according to new data from Motor Intelligence.

The drop — only the third monthly decline in EV sales since 2021 — was felt across nearly all major brands, according to Motor Intelligence data obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

Tesla, which historically accounts for around half of EV sales in the country, saw its U.S. sales sink nearly 13% last month, the outlet reported. Sales of Rivian's flagship electric pickup and SUV were slashed in half, prompting the company to lower its 2025 forecast by 5,000 units. Other manufacturers, including Ford, Hyundai and Kia, also posted losses.

The lawyers at the American Center for Law and Justice say they have written Gov. Bob Ferguson to urge him to veto Senate Bill 5093.

That piece, called "An Act Relating to Dignity in Pregnancy Loss," actually would strip legal protections from newborns and victims of abuse and trafficking, they explained.
