EVs

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining serious momentum worldwide as countries push for more sustainable transport. By 2024, the number of EVs on the road had surged to approximately 60 million, a 35% increase from 2022 and six times higher than in 2018.

China is at the forefront, with Norway, Sweden, and Germany setting a strong pace in Europe, while the US has seen slower growth in EV adoption compared to previous years. But it’s not only global giants leading the shift; smaller nations are also stepping up, integrating EVs into their transport systems and showing that size doesn’t limit impact.

From major players to smaller trailblazers, the electric revolution is reshaping how the world moves. Click through the following gallery to see which countries are steering the future of driving (and which could use a push).
