The world saw sales of 4.2 million electric vehicles in the first half of this year, a 63 per cent growth from the same period last year, a new report has shown.
China alone witnessed the sale of 2.4 million EVs, 26 per cent of all passenger cars delivered in the country against just 10 per cent in the first half of 2021, according to latest Canalys research.
EVs include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
“EV sales in Mainland China more than doubled in H1 2022 and it is now by far the biggest EV market. Fifty-seven per cent of global EV sales were in Mainland China. With 118 per cent year-on-year growth, it is the fastest-growing market as well,” said Jason Low, principal analyst at Canalys.
