25% of new car sales

Methodology

## What this measures

Electric cars (battery-electric and plug-in hybrid) as a share of all new passenger cars sold worldwide, one value per calendar year, dated December 31.

## Why it matters

The global pace at which new car buyers switch to electric drives oil demand, battery and minerals demand and the fortunes of carmakers. China accounts for most electric car sales, so the world figure leans on it.

## How to read it

Percent of new car sales. Plug-in hybrids count as electric. Conventional (non-plug-in) hybrids are not counted as electric, so gasoline-only cars are a smaller share than one minus this figure.

## What it does not say

New cars only, not the fleet on the road, and not vans, trucks or buses.
