Electric vehicle adoption rates worldwide: Comparing different countries and regions.
Electric vehicle adoption rates are on the rise globally as countries and regions strive to meet climate change goals. A new study compares electric vehicle adoption rates in different countries and regions, finding that Europe is leading the way while North America lags behind.
The study, conducted by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), looked at electric vehicle adoption rates in 17 countries and regions. Europe leads the way, with a total of 3.2% of passenger vehicles on the road being electric. This is followed by China (2.8%), the United States (1.2%), and Japan (0.6%).
Interestingly, Europe's lead is largely due to the strong performance of a few individual countries. Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden have electric vehicle adoption rates of 9.1%, 7.4%, and 4.5%, respectively. In contrast, Germany and the United Kingdom, two of Europe's largest economies, have electric vehicle adoption rates of just 1.6% and 1.3%, respectively.
North America as a whole lags behind Europe, with an electric vehicle adoption rate of just 1.1%. However, there are some bright spots. Canada has an electric vehicle adoption rate of 2.0%, while California, the United States' most populous state, has an electric vehicle adoption rate of 3.2%.
Looking at the global picture, it's clear that electric vehicle adoption rates are still relatively low. However, the trend is clearly towards increasing electrification, and it's likely that we'll see even more rapid growth in the coming years as countries and regions continue to invest in electric vehicle infrastructure and incentives.
