The number of BEVs in Europe, China, USA and Japan in 2024
- The volume of BEVs sold worldwide in 2024 exceeded 10 million units for the first time, at 10,355,391, up 9.6% compared to 2023. Let’s remind that in 2015, the volume of BEVs sold worldwide did not exceed 285,000 units, before gradually reaching 715,000 units in 2017, 1,445,000 in 2019, 4,470,000 in 2021 and 9,450,000 in 2023.
- In this growing BEV market, China is consolidating its lead over other countries , with 7,037,467 sales in 2024 compared to 6,132,487 in 2023 and 5,029,207 in 2022. The BEV sales growth in China is uninterrupted. In 2024, the market share of BEVs sold in China reaches 25.5% compared to 23.5% in 2023 and 21.5% in 2022.
- Europe is in second place behind China, with 1,993,102 BEVs sold in 2024, compared to 2,009,372in 2023 and 1,575,079 in 2022. BEV sales growth in Europe was hampered in 2024 by the end of subsidies in Germany. As a result, the BEV market share in Europe remains stable 16% in 2024 vs 2023.
- The US ranks third behind China and Europe, with 1,270,598 BEVs sold in 2024, compared to 1,194,215 in 2023 and 811,083 in 2022. Today, the market share of BEVs sold in the US reaches 8% compared to 7.7% in 2023 and 5.8% in 2022.
- Japan remains far behind, with only 54,224 BEVs sold in 2024, compared to 86,762 in 2023 and 54,105 in 2022. This technology is far from becoming developed in this country. The market share of BEVs sold in Japan has thus fallen to 1.4% in 2024 compared to 2.2% in 2023 and 1.6% in 2022.
