China emerged as the clear leader in the global electric vehicle market in 2023, surpassing the combined sales of the rest of the world. The figures were almost six times higher than that of the United States, which secured the second position.

Additionally, the United States recorded a significant 40% increase in EV sales from 2022 to 2023. Meanwhile, the European market experienced a substantial rise of approximately 19% between 2022 and 2023, with battery electric vehicles now dominating the electric vehicle sales.
