Global Electric Vehicle Sales Surge 25% in 2024, but Can It Sustain That Growth

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the 25% growth in global electric vehicle (EV) sales in 2024, reaching 17 million units. While China led this surge as the global EV hub, sales in the U.S. remained sluggish at 8% of new cars, and Europe saw declines, notably in Germany. McIntyre warns that China’s EV market could slow as early adopters saturate the market, making another 25% growth unlikely in 2025.
