1.2 Development and Outlook for the Global EV Industry The statistics on EVs in global use include both full-electric battery vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The impetus to reduce emissions from transport has and will continue to affect the development of the numbers and the promotion of the transition to electric mobility. Electromobility will be one of the main methods to achieve the limits. Norway leads the world in the share of electric cars in total passenger car use, reaching 27% in 2022. Iceland (16%) and Sweden (8.8%) follow. In China, the share of EVs in total passenger car use nearly reached 5.0% in 2022. The European share is 2.4%, and the world share is 2.1%.
