Global Electric Vehicle Sales Reach New Record

China leads the charge with significant growth, while Europe sees a slight dip in sales

The global electric vehicle (EV) market surged by 25% in 2024, setting a new sales record as 17.1 million battery electric cars were sold worldwide, according to data from the British consultancy firm Rho Motion. This sharp increase marks a pivotal moment in the transition to cleaner transportation, with the growth being particularly pronounced in China, while Europe experienced a slight decline.

China, already the world’s largest EV market, further solidified its dominance, with 11 million electric vehicles sold—a staggering 40% increase from 2023. This boom underscores the country’s commitment to green technologies and positions it as the global leader in EV adoption.

In stark contrast, Europe saw a 3% drop in sales to 3 million units, following four years of robust growth. Despite this slowdown, the continent remains a key player in the global EV market, and experts anticipate that the dip may be temporary. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Canada also saw increases in EV sales, contributing to the overall global momentum.

The record-setting year highlights the continued shift toward electric mobility, driven by advancements in technology, government incentives, and growing consumer demand for sustainable alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
