Bloomberg is forecasting sales of electric vehicles (EVs) increasing from 1.1 million worldwide in 2017, to 11 million in 2025 and then surging to 30 million in 2030 as they become cheaper to make than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
If electric vehicles become cheaper than combustion engine cars at an earlier date then the predicted surge in electric cars could happen sooner.
China is leading the shift to electric vehicles. China has been accounting for about 50% of the global EV market today and this expected to continue through 2025 before slipping to 39% in 2030. China will lead on percentage adoption, with EVs accounting for 19% of all passenger vehicle sales in China in 2025. Europe is predicted to be next at 14%, followed by the U.S. at 11%.
