Global sales of battery-electric vehicles 2011-2022
Battery-electric vehicle sales reached an estimated 7.3 million in 2022, up from around 4.6 million in 2021. BEV sales have soared due a number of factors, including an increased consumer interest in more sustainable transport and governmental regulations to curb direct transport emissions. In 2021, these sales more than doubled compared to 2020, and 2022 marks a new record in all-electric sales volume.
