In 2024, global electric vehicle (EV) sales surged by 25%, reaching over 17 million cars. China led the charge with 11 million EVs sold, while Britain became Europe's largest battery-electric market, surpassing Germany. This growth was driven by incentives and emissions targets, with December marking China's fourth consecutive month of record EV sales. This surge in EV adoption is a positive development for the planet, as it will help reduce emissions and improve air quality, especially in cities.
