Five independent research organizations confirm that global electric vehicle sales surpassed 20 million units in 2025 — one in four new cars sold worldwide. China led with 12–13 million units representing 52–65% of domestic new car sales, while Europe posted more than 30% year-on-year growth. The U.S. market stagnated near 10% share amid policy uncertainty, while emerging markets including Vietnam, Thailand, and Türkiye more than doubled EV adoption. All five trackers report figures within a tight 20.7–21.6 million unit range, with consensus market share at 25%.
