From Al Jazeera. There are some nice charts, but I'll just share one. By the way, Al Jazeera's chart showing the growth in EV sales since 2010 is actually 4 charts, or 4 pages, anyway.
Electric vehicle (EV) sales have tripled over the past three years, from nearly three million new electric cars sold worldwide in 2020 to 10 million last year.
To put that figure into perspective, for every 20 new cars sold around the world in 2022, three were electric.
Government policies and stricter emissions standards have helped accelerate the adoption of electric cars. By the end of 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that some 14 million electric cars will be sold this year – a 35 percent increase from 2022.
China accounts for more than half (58 percent) of all new electric cars sold worldwide.
According to the IEA, over the course of 2022, 5.9 million new electric vehicles were sold across the country – a more than 80 percent increase compared with 2021. China’s Association of Automobile Manufacturers put sales figures even higher at seven million vehicles.
Chinese car manufacturers, including BYD (Build Your Dreams) and SAIC-GM-Wuling, have dedicated themselves to producing affordable and efficient electric cars and are now major automobile producers and exporters.
