Poll Description

Sales of electric vehicles rose by 25% last year, with 17 million sold worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency's recent "Global EV Outlook." The trend is led by China, where half of the new cars sold were EVs. 

In the U.S., sales of EVs increased by 10% last year, but that was off the pace of 2023, when a 40% gain was recorded.  

The report noted a plateauing of sales in Europe, where some countries are rolling back incentives offered to EV buyers.
