Based in Sweden, EV Volumes is an organisation focused solely on the shipment of vehicles with electric motors across the globe.
They pull together over 130 sources – cross referencing where possible – to try and build the most accurate picture possible of how the evolution toward carbon neutral transport is going.
In Europe, against a backdrop where overall vehicle registrations are down by more than 15%, electric vehicles have grown by almost 10% – making the region the second biggest in the world, behind China.
The companies experiencing the largest growth rates in EV sales include:-
- Geely (inc Volvo and Polestar) at 334%
- BYD at 320%
- Hyundai at 86%
- Tesla at 46%
- Stellantis (Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Vauxhall etc) at 42%
Here in the UK, fully electric cars (BEV) increased by 23% in October – compared to the same month last year.
Overall UK BEV sales are up more than 38% (compared to the same 10 month period in 2021), with almost 200,000 shipped so far
