Battery-electric vehicle sales reached an estimated 10 million in 2023, up from around 7.7 million in 2022. BEV sales have soared due a number of factors, including an increased consumer interest in more sustainable transport and governmental regulations to curb direct transport emissions. In 2021, these sales more than doubled compared to 2020, and 2023 marks a new record in all-electric sales volume.
