Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are changing how people and goods move, from city scooters and delivery vans to family cars, buses and heavy trucks. Their growth involves more than vehicle sales: batteries, charging networks, manufacturing capacity and ownership costs all shape the transition. These statistics explore where electric transport is expanding, how different vehicle categories compare, and what the technology means for energy use and emissions. Category selectors broaden the view wherever comparable data is available. Where a study covers only passenger cars or a particular market, that scope is stated explicitly. Battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are distinguished throughout.

Global sales and adoption: 2025. Other charts state their own years and coverage. Use the vehicle-category selectors, hover or tap for details, and search the country table.

1. The rise of electric vehicles worldwide

Electric transport is not a single market. Cars, vans, buses, trucks and two- and three-wheelers serve different purposes and follow different adoption paths. The default view brings those categories together without disguising their differences: the coloured areas represent annual sales in each category, rather than the number of vehicles already on the road. Use the selector to inspect one category and distinguish battery-electric vehicles from plug-in hybrids where both are reported. Smaller categories can become difficult to see beside millions of cars and two-wheelers, so their individual views are particularly useful. Missing early observations are left blank rather than treated as zero. The source rounds its published figures, meaning that a sum of powertrain components can differ slightly from a separately reported total. These are vehicle counts, not measures of passengers carried, freight moved or kilometres travelled; one bus and one scooter each count as one vehicle.

Sources: IEA Global EV Data Explorer (2026). IEA historical series, 2010–2025. Default stacks the reported EV totals for five vehicle categories. Individual categories show BEV and PHEV components where available. No projections. Missing observations are gaps, not zeros. Figures are rounded independently; component sums can differ from reported totals. EV excludes ordinary non-plug-in hybrids; fuel-cell vehicles are not added. Motorised two-/three-wheelers are not the same as all e-bikes.

Electric sales share: ■ under 5%  ■ 5–under 15%  ■ 15–under 35%  ■ 35–under 70%  ■ 70%+  ■ No data  

Sales share answers a different question from sales volume: how far has electric transport penetrated a particular vehicle market? A smaller country can have a high electric share while contributing relatively few vehicles to the global total. Conversely, a very large market can sell many electric vehicles while conventional vehicles still account for most purchases. Switch between cars, vans, buses, trucks and two- and three-wheelers to see whether adoption is broad or concentrated in one segment. Each percentage uses sales of that same vehicle category as its denominator. The map does not divide electric bus sales by all road-vehicle sales, for example. Grey countries have no usable observation in the selected series; they are not assumed to have zero adoption. This is a snapshot of new sales, so it should not be read as the electric share of the entire fleet. Existing vehicles take much longer to replace.

Sources: IEA Global EV Data Explorer (2026); Natural Earth map boundaries. IEA 2025 electric share of new sales within the selected vehicle category. Default: cars. No global all-vehicle denominator is constructed. Countries without observations are grey. Hover/tap or use the country selector for exact source percentages. Boundaries are illustrative.

BYD electric bus in Landskrona, Sweden, March 2019

Electric transport beyond the private car

An electric bus brings a different set of operating questions from a private car. A fleet operator needs enough energy for a planned service, charging opportunities around the timetable and a depot that can support several vehicles at once. Passenger capacity also matters: counting vehicles alone does not describe how many journeys they provide. This photograph shows a BYD electric bus in Landskrona, Sweden. It complements the category selectors, which let buses be examined separately from cars and vans. The photograph illustrates a type of vehicle, rather than the date or geographic coverage of the statistical series used on the page.

3. Lifetime emissions: electric and conventional passenger cars

An electric vehicle has no exhaust emissions while driving on its battery, but that does not make its whole life cycle emission-free. Manufacturing the vehicle and battery, producing electricity, maintaining the vehicle and handling its end of life all matter. This comparison uses one consistent study of medium-sized passenger cars sold in the European Union in 2025. It therefore provides a controlled car comparison rather than a universal estimate for buses, trucks or motorcycles. The stacked bars separate vehicle manufacturing, traction-battery manufacturing, and the remaining operation-and-maintenance emissions. The electricity scenarios illustrate how the power supply changes a battery-electric car’s result. The grid case uses an electricity mix projected over the car’s lifetime, not the current grid held constant forever. Actual outcomes also depend on vehicle size, distance driven and charging behaviour. A plug-in hybrid’s result is especially sensitive to how much it is driven electrically.

Sources: ICCT: passenger-car life-cycle emissions, EU 2025. ICCT medium passenger cars sold in the EU in 2025; 240,000 km lifetime. Production components: Tables 1–2; totals: Figure 4. Operation/maintenance is calculated as the residual from rounded totals, including energy supply and use. Grid electricity changes over the projected lifetime; renewables is a scenario. Not a global all-vehicle estimate.

Range figures describe the distance a vehicle is certified to travel, not a guarantee for every journey. Speed, temperature, heating, terrain, payload and battery condition can all change the distance achieved on the road. These box plots use one testing system—US EPA certification—so the years are compared on a consistent basis. Select cars, SUVs or pickups to avoid mixing vehicles with very different jobs. Each box contains the middle half of listed configurations, while its centre line marks the median. The whiskers and separate outliers show how widely the available choices differ. Configurations are counted equally, so a popular model does not receive more weight than a low-volume version. This is a view of certified light-duty products, not the range distribution of the vehicles people actually own. Empty early years for a category mean that no qualifying configuration appears in the extracted dataset.

Sources: US EPA / DOE vehicle data. US EPA certified battery-electric configurations, model years 2011–2025. Miles × 1.609344 = km. Equal configuration weights; not sales-weighted. Cars include listed passenger-car and wagon classes; SUVs and pickups are separate. Box = Q1–Q3, line = median; whiskers use the 1.5 × IQR rule; dots are outliers. No qualifying vans in this extract. Test ratings are not guaranteed real-world distances.

5. The falling cost of light-duty EV batteries

Battery economics are central to the cost of electric vehicles, but several different measures are often called “battery price”. This series is a US Department of Energy estimate of light-duty vehicle battery-pack manufacturing cost per usable kilowatt-hour. It is not a retail replacement-battery quote, a cell-only price or a global average transaction price. The constant-dollar view removes general inflation, making the long-term change easier to interpret. A lower cost per kilowatt-hour can support cheaper vehicles, larger batteries or some combination of the two; it does not automatically translate into an identical reduction in showroom prices. Pack design, manufacturing scale, materials, thermal management and the amount of usable capacity all affect costs. Commercial vehicles may use different pack designs and duty cycles, so their costs should not simply be assumed to match this series. The chart ends at the final year in this particular published dataset.

Sources: US DOE battery-pack cost estimates, 2008–2023. US DOE light-duty lithium-ion pack manufacturing-cost estimates, 2008–2023, constant 2023 US dollars per usable kWh. Not global pack transaction prices or retail replacements. Values drawn from the downloadable FOTW 1354 workbook. This source ends in 2023; no later values are extrapolated.

6. Which countries sell the most electric vehicles?

Large national markets account for much of the world’s electric-vehicle sales, but their positions can change substantially when the vehicle category changes. The selector allows the same question to be asked separately for cars, vans, buses, trucks and two- and three-wheelers. This avoids treating a market that specialises in electric scooters as though it necessarily leads electric truck sales. Countries are ranked within the selected category, using the same calendar year. These bars measure units sold rather than adoption rates; the map above supplies the complementary percentage comparison. A high-volume market may still have considerable room for electrification. Figures are rounded estimates and may be revised by the source. Missing powertrain details do not imply that every vehicle uses the same technology. For a broader view than the displayed leaders, use the searchable country reference table at the end of the page.

Sources: IEA Global EV Data Explorer (2026). IEA 2025 reported EV sales, top 15 countries with observations for each selected category. Rankings change when the selector changes. Source-rounded totals, not a sum of separately rounded powertrain components. Regional aggregates are excluded.

7. Is public charging keeping pace with cars and vans?

Guides: 10, 20 and 50 electric cars/vans per public charging point.

Counting chargers is only one way to assess charging provision. This chart places public charging points alongside the stock of electric cars and vans, the light-duty vehicles most likely to use these networks. Logarithmic axes make both smaller and larger national systems visible. The diagonal guides represent constant numbers of vehicles per public charging point; countries above a guide have more points for their fleet size. The comparison does not establish an ideal ratio. Home and workplace charging, the speed of public equipment, reliability, geography and driving patterns all affect demand. A country with widespread private parking can operate differently from one where drivers depend on shared facilities. Bus and truck depots are not treated as interchangeable with public car chargers. The plotted stock includes battery-electric cars and vans as well as plug-in hybrids, whose need for public charging can differ.

Sources: IEA Global EV Data Explorer (2026). IEA 2025 matched observations: electric car stock plus electric van stock, versus reported public slow, fast and ultra-fast charging points. Only countries with both car and van stock and a positive public count are plotted. Missing charger classes are omitted from the sum of reported points; reported coverage may be incomplete. Points are connectors/charging points, not necessarily separate sites. Private and dedicated heavy-vehicle depots are outside this comparison.

Riese und Müller electrically assisted cargo bicycle, May 2018

Smaller vehicles, different jobs

Electric cargo cycles illustrate how electrification can also change the size and form of a vehicle used for a task. A cargo bicycle can move goods on local trips without using the same road and parking space as a van, although payload, weather, route and operating requirements limit which jobs it can replace. This example is an electrically assisted Riese und Müller cargo bicycle. Electrically assisted bicycles are not automatically included in the IEA’s motorised two- and three-wheeler statistics, so this image should not be read as a sample of that dataset. It illustrates the wider range of electric mobility beyond the statistical categories available.

8. Where does the cost of owning an EV come from?

Energy savings are only one part of the cost of owning a vehicle. Depreciation, insurance, financing and taxes can outweigh differences in fuel or charging expenditure. This comparison keeps the vehicle class fixed while changing the powertrain: select a medium sedan, compact SUV, medium SUV or pickup. The figures come from AAA’s US study and represent annualised costs under a five-year, 75,000-mile ownership framework. They are not predictions for a particular household or a comparison of every model on sale. The components help explain why an electric vehicle can have lower energy costs without necessarily having the lowest overall cost. Results can change with purchase discounts, resale values, borrowing rates, electricity tariffs and annual mileage. These are nominal US-dollar estimates for the study year. Rounded components can differ slightly from the report’s rounded headline totals. Compare within a category rather than treating a sedan and pickup as substitutes.

Sources: AAA Your Driving Costs 2026, brochure page 3. AAA 2026 selected US models; annual costs under five years / 75,000 miles (15,000 miles per year). Compare powertrains within one class. Component sums use published rounded inputs and can differ slightly from reported totals. Energy, maintenance, depreciation, insurance, taxes/fees and finance are included. No universal household saving is implied.

9. Best-selling battery-electric vehicle brands in the US

Brand rankings depend on the market, vehicle coverage and definition of “electric”. This chart uses a consistent US battery-electric sales series that includes the report’s passenger cars, SUVs, pickups and listed delivery vans. Plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are excluded. Keeping the geography explicit avoids presenting a US ranking as a global league table. Brands are shown separately rather than combined into parent-company groups, so Chevrolet and Cadillac remain distinct entries. Annual totals also smooth some of the fluctuations that occur within individual quarters. The twelve leading named brands provide a readable view of the market, but the chart is not an exhaustive inventory of every brand or specialised commercial vehicle. A large brand total can reflect a small number of popular models or a broad product portfolio. Sales measure vehicles delivered or estimated sold, not production capacity, profitability or customer satisfaction.

Top 12 named brands, including passenger cars, SUVs, pickups and listed delivery vans. Excludes PHEVs and FCEVs; not a worldwide or all-commercial-vehicle ranking. Brands are not combined into parent groups.

The place where a vehicle is assembled is different from the country where its manufacturer is headquartered. This treemap focuses on assembly location, grouping electric passenger-car production into the regions reported by the source. A factory in Europe remains European production even when its owner is based elsewhere. The size of each rectangle represents estimated annual output, allowing the concentration of manufacturing to be seen at a glance. Regional grouping is used because the selected source does not provide a comparable country-by-country breakdown for every producer. Battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids are included; buses, trucks and two-wheelers are outside this particular production series. Rounded inputs make the implied total approximate. Production is also distinct from domestic demand: cars may be exported, imported, stocked or sold in a different reporting period. The source’s manufacturer-origin breakdown is used to add up assembly-region totals, not to relabel factory output by brand nationality.

Sources: IEA Global EV Outlook 2026: manufacturing and trade. IEA 2025 electric passenger-car production: BEV + PHEV. Assembly regions, not corporate nationality. China uses the rounded 16 million narrative figure; other regions sum manufacturer-origin components in the source chart. EU 3.20m, US 1.27m, Japan/Korea 1.30m, rest 0.20m. Combined total ≈21.97m; all shares implied by the treemap are approximate.
