Global Electric Vehicle Sales Surge, Reshaping Auto Industry

Key Points

This surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is set to reshape the global auto industry and significantly reduce oil consumption for road transport.

Projected Sales 📈

Electric car sales are expected to remain strong in 2024, reaching around 17 million units by the year-end. Notably, the first quarter of 2024 witnessed a 25% growth in sales compared to the same period in 2023.

Market Dynamics

China leads the charge, with electric car sales projected to skyrocket to about 10 million units in 2024, accounting for approximately 45% of all car sales in the country. In the United States and Europe, electric cars are expected to represent one in nine and one in four cars sold, respectively.

Record-breaking Growth 📈🌏

The electric vehicle market saw a record-breaking 35% surge in sales in 2023, reaching nearly 14 million units. This growth was not confined to traditional markets but also observed in emerging economies like Vietnam and Thailand.

Investment and Policy Support 💰📝

Substantial investment in the EV supply chain, coupled with ongoing policy support, is driving significant changes. Manufacturers have made substantial financial commitments, and the world’s capacity to produce EV batteries is well-positioned to meet rising demand.

Affordability and Accessibility 💸🔋

Growing competition and improving battery technologies are expected to drive down EV prices in the coming years. Additionally, lower operating costs make EVs a financially viable option over time, despite higher upfront costs.

Charging Infrastructure🔌🚗

The availability of public charging infrastructure is crucial for sustained EV growth. While the number of public charging points increased by 40% in 2023, further expansion is needed to accommodate increased demand.

Policy Tools 📊🌍

Accompanying the Global EV Outlook 2024 are interactive tools like the Global EV Data Explorer and the Global EV Policy Explorer, enabling users to delve into EV statistics, projections, and policy measures worldwide.
