Global electric car sales continue to break records as affordability improves

Despite recent economic headwinds that have put pressure on the auto sector, global sales of electric cars have continued to break records as electric models become increasingly affordable. Electric car sales exceeded 17 million globally in 2024, reaching a sales share of more than 20%. Just the additional 3.5 million electric cars sold in 2024 compared with the previous year is more than the total number of electric cars sold worldwide in 2020.

In 2025, sales of electric cars are expected to surpass 20 million, accounting for over a quarter of cars sold worldwide. In the first three months of 2025, global electric car sales were up 35% year-on-year.
