Beijing: Electric vehicles had quite the year in 2024. They really took off, especially in China, which is the biggest auto market in the world. Can you believe that EVs made up 50% of new car sales there in July? That’s huge!
But it wasn’t just China. Europe and the U.S. also saw a nice bump in EV sales. People are really getting into the idea of electric cars. They want the latest models, longer ranges, and better prices. It’s exciting to see how far we’ve come!
Of course, there are some bumps in the road ahead. With the new Trump administration coming in, there might be some uncertainty about purchase subsidies. That could shake things up a bit in 2025. But for now, consumers are still eager to check out the new options available.
