According to new report From the International Energy Agency based in Paris, the global EV sales will exceed 20 million in 2025, which is over a quarter of cars sold around the world. In the first three months of 2025, the sale of electric cars around the world increased by 35 percent compared to the previous year. And, adds IEA, market share exceeds 40 percent to 2030, as EV – Międzyma, cheaper, mainly – at more and more affordable prices at a larger number of markets.
Almost half Of all the sales of cars in China, it was electric last year. According to IEA, the emerging markets in Asia and Latin America also became fresh growth centers, while the total EV sales in these regions increased by more than 60 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, EV sales increased by about 10 percent year in the USA.
“Our data show that despite significant uncertainty, electric cars remain on the global growth trajectory,” says the executive director of IEA Fatih Birol. “Sales still set new records, with the main implications for the international automotive industry. This year we expect that more than one in four cars sold around the world will be electric, and the increase accelerates in many emerging economies. By the end of this decade it will be more than two out of five.”
China, which is more than 70 percent of global EV productionalmost sent 1.25 million electric cars to other countries last year. The end of the EV subsidy in the EU was influenced by European sales. According to the European Car Manufacturers Association, the EV market in the EU in 2024 fell to 13.6 percent, which is 1 percent compared to the previous year.
Luxurious brands of Volkswagen, including Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini, again evaluate their EV strategies. Porsche has reduced plans for comprehensive composition 49 -percentage of Taycan sales. Bentley pushed the premiere of the first EV from this year to the next and extended the date of withdrawal of the gas engine to 2035. Lamborghini delayed his Lanzador EV At the earliest until 2029.
Wait a few months and you can be able to pick up G580 for much smaller than its catalog price USD 162,000. Currently, you can pack three -year -old Porsche Taycan, with its 416 miles range, for less than half of the cost. Currently 930 used Taycans for sale in the USA in Auto TraderWith prices from just 44,000 USD, when the basic model costs at least $ 100,000 fresh. Taycan with just 11,000 miles on the clock can be obtained for $ 47,000.
USA and European car manufacturers-forest and startups-may regret that there was not much demand for prestigious EV (Jaguar in this matter puts its future activity), but for several years the market is crying, instead, for cheaper basic models. A study method of current automotive industry filling the flagships with the best goods, and then allowing them to slowly flow into lower cars, is currently not realistic, says Dale Harrow, chairman and director of Smart mobility design center in London Royal College of Art.
“The same technology is basically in all electric vehicles,” says Harrow. “So for the first time there is no real guarantee that spending a lot more money will buy a better product. Look at vehicles from BYD.”
Instead, Harrow believes that car manufacturers must set aside from the flagship, first dependence, classic Model T Ford strategy and focus on building EV available for masses by combining price -accessibility, simplicity and mass production. And guess who has already developed it? Yes, China-Where Almost 40 percent Of all electrical models, below USD 25,000 was valued.
It is this strategy, and not the catchy phrases of tank, that will enhance the real reception and encourage the dissemination of real charging networks. After all, it was the ubiquity of the T model played a key role in Development of gas stations– And there is absolutely no reason why the same trick cannot be rotated in electric age.
