The number of electric vehicles (EVs) sold worldwide reached 10 million units in 2023. China accounted for almost 67% of sales, with 6.68 million units. Over the same period, Europe sold 1.53 million EVs, while the USA sold just 1.1 million.
By 2030, light electric vehicles should account for 50% of the automobile market sales. However, a shortage of lithium, an essential material for battery manufacture, is a risk that needs to be addressed.
On a global scale, 2023 investments in electrified transport amounted to 634 billion USD, or 35.8% of those earmarked for energy transition. China is the biggest investor in this field, followed by the USA and Germany.
