Estimated world electric vehicles fleet at year’s end 2017
- Inovev has calculated the current world fleet of electrified vehicles, based on sales.
1. The number of non-rechargeable hybrid vehicles is around 11,548,000 units at the end of 2017, including 4,981,000 in Japan (the leading market for this type of vehicle, thanks to Toyota, which has invested in this technique over the last twenty years on a large scale), 4,564,000 in the United States (including a majority of Toyota), 1,837,000 in Europe (including a majority of Toyota) and 166,000 in China. In total, nearly 10 million Toyota (and Lexus) hybrids are driven on our planet.
2. The number of rechargeable and 100% electric hybrid vehicles is around 2,483,000 units at the end of 2017, including 855,000 in China (the largest market for this type of vehicle), 795,000 in Europe, 710,000 United States and 123,000 in Japan (this market is rather focused on non-rechargeable hybrids).
- The world's fleet of electrified vehicles (HEV + PHEV + BEV) is therefore as follows: 5,274,000 units in the United States, 5,104,000 units in Japan, 2,632,000 units in Europe and 1,021,000 units in China, or 14 031 000 vehicles in total, out of nearly one billion, all engines combined. These vehicles now account for 1.5% of the world fleet and it will take many years to achieve the objectives announced by some manufacturers and governments, namely 10% of the world fleet, then 20% ….
