The global shift toward cleaner mobility is accelerating. According to data from Rho Motion, sales of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids climbed by 27% in the first seven months of 2025 compared with the same period last year. That adds up to 10.7 million new electrified cars hitting the roads worldwide—a record pace that signals both opportunity and responsibility for the industry.
Regional Breakdown: China Leads, Europe Surges, the U.S. Slows
China remains the world’s powerhouse, accounting for 6.5 million EV sales so far this year, a 29% increase. Europe, fueled by government incentives, saw an even stronger boost of 30%, reaching 2.3 million units. The U.S. showed more modest growth—just 2%, or about 1 million vehicles—while the rest of the world surged ahead with a remarkable 42% increase.
Zooming in on July 2025 alone, global EV sales hit 1.6 million units, up by 200,000 compared with July 2024. Highlights include:
- China: ~1 million EVs and plug-in hybrids sold.
- Europe: 390,000 sales (+48%).
- U.S.: 170,000 sales (+10%).
- Other regions: 140,000 sales (+55%).
