Vietnam currently has the highest BEV rate
- Europe 30 countries (EU + UK + Switzerland + Norway) is positionned in fourth position globally behind Vietnam, China and Thailand in terms of BEV market share in the light vehicles (passenger vehicles + LUVs ) market.
- Vietnam is the country with the highest sales rate of BEVs, with a share of 32.3% in 2025, ahead of China (28.1%), Thailand (19.3%) and Europe 30 (17.1%).
- These rates differ slightly from those calculated in our previous Auto-Analyses, which only considered passenger cars. For example, the market share of BEVs in Europe 30 reaches 19.5% when only passenger cars are taken into account.
- Asia is leading the battery electric vehicles market. Indeed, when we look at the top ten countries in the table below, we see that six are located in Asia. If we consider the ranking by country strictly speaking, four European countries surpass Vietnam in terms of BEV market share in 2025. These are Norway (79.4%), Denmark (54.9%), the Netherlands (40.4%), and Sweden (32.8%), all located in Northern Europe, and in particular the three Scandinavian countries.
- The table below includes 55 countries + 30 European countries, for a total of 85 countries . It is difficult to obtain information on the other countries – which are generally small markets – not listed in this table.
