• Tesla leads the US in electric-vehicle sales, but several other brands give it a run for its money on the used market, according to a new study from car search engine iSeeCars.
• The firm analyzed 54,000 used-EV sales to identify the ten most popular electric cars on the secondhand market.
• Battery-powered rides from Tesla, Kia, Chevy, Nissan, BMW, Volkswagen, and Fiat all made the cut.

Tesla may dominate the US market when it comes to new electric vehicles — the brand's Model 3 sedan pretty much blows every other EV out of the water — but the electric-car maker faces stiff competition in the secondhand market, according to a new study.

Automotive search engine iSeeCars studied more than 24 million used-car transactions — among them 54,000 used-EV sales — to determine which battery-powered cars were the most popular among buyers from 2019 to 2020. It found that ten cars accounted for more than 90% of used-EV sales.

Unsurprisingly, the Tesla Model X, Model S, and Model 3 all made the cut — but the most popular car wasn't a Tesla at all. Cars from Chevrolet, Fiat, Nissan, and BMW also claimed spots in the top ten.
