Electric Vehicle Sales Rise 30% Globally, China on Top

The start of 2025 has brought a significant rise in electric vehicle sales, proving that EVs are rapidly gaining traction worldwide. In the first two months alone, sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars surged by 30%, reaching 2.4 million units globally. This impressive growth highlights the increasing shift towards cleaner transportation solutions.

China Leads Global EV Market

As expected, China leads EV market growth, with a remarkable 35% increase in sales, totaling 1.4 million units. In February alone, China saw a 76% jump compared to the previous year, partly due to the Chinese New Year effect. Fully electric car market sales in the country soared by 46%, while plug-in hybrid sales rose by 22%. These figures reflect a growing preference for all-electric models over hybrids among Chinese consumers.

North America's EV Expansion

The EV industry growth is also evident in North America, where sales across the United States, Canada, and Mexico grew by 20%. Mexico saw the highest increase, more than doubling its sales, largely driven by affordable Chinese EV models. Meanwhile, U.S. consumers rushed to take advantage of the $7,500 federal tax credit, contributing to a 28% rise in EV sales growth.

Europe’s EV Market Trends

Europe, too, is seeing a steady rise in global electric cars, with a 29% increase in overall EV sales. However, plug-in hybrid growth in the region has slowed, rising only 2%. In France, stricter government policies, such as the weight tax on hybrids, led to a 48% decline in PHEV sales. This highlights the significant role that regulations play in shaping the global EV market.

Future of the EV Revolution

Industry experts, including RhoMotion data manager Charles Lester, emphasize that the EV sales surge is here to stay. Despite high tariffs, Chinese automakers like BYD continue to expand globally, further fueling the rising EV demand. With strong growth in China, North America, and Europe, the future of electric vehicles looks brighter than ever.
