Electric vehicle registrations in August dropped sharply to 88,146 from the previous year’s peak of 138,415, as demand appears to have softened following the end of a key federal tax incentive.

The shift comes as automakers adjust production and pricing amid evolving consumer incentives. Industry observers will watch whether sales stabilize or continue falling in the coming months.
