Global electric vehicle sales reached 15.5 million in January–September 2026, up only 3% year on year, per Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. Axis Intelligence Research calculates an Ex-China Offset Ratio (ECOR) of 1.35: for every EV China’s market lost, markets outside China added about 1.35.
Quick Answer
One in four new cars sold worldwide in 2025 was electric — more than 20 million, per the IEA. In 2026 the market stalled: 15.5 million EVs were sold through September (+3%), with China down 13% and North America down 24%. Axis Intelligence Research finds that Europe and the Rest of World added 2.01 million units, more than covering the 1.59 million lost elsewhere.
Key Findings
- Global EV sales (battery-electric plus plug-in hybrid) totalled 15.5 million in January–September 2026, up 3% year on year, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s October 16, 2026 release.
- Axis Intelligence Research calculates an Ex-China Offset Ratio (ECOR) of 1.35 for January–September 2026: markets outside China added 1.63 million EV sales while China’s market lost 1.21 million.
- China’s share of global EV sales fell from 62.3% in 2025 to 52.3% in January–September 2026, an Axis Intelligence Research calculation from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data.
- Electric cars were 25% of new car sales in 2025 but only about 5% of the global car stock, a Stock Lag Index (SLI) of 5.0 by Axis Intelligence Research’s calculation from IEA Global EV Outlook 2026 figures.
- To deliver the roughly 10% growth the IEA expected for 2026, global EV sales would need to rise about 29% year on year in Q4 2026, an Axis Intelligence Research calculation.
How Many Electric Cars Were Sold in 2026 So Far?
15.5 million through September 2026, up 3% year on year. That is the figure Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reported on October 16, 2026, covering battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) passenger cars and light-duty vehicles.
EV sales by region, January–September 2026
| Region | EV sales, Jan–Sep 2026 | Change vs Jan–Sep 2025 | September 2026 | September YoY | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | 8.1 million | −13% | 1.11 million | −18% | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence |
| Europe | 3.9 million | +30% | 0.60 million | +39% | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence |
| North America | 1.2 million | −24% | 0.13 million | −44% | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence |
| Rest of World | 2.3 million | +93% | 0.31 million | +81% | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence |
| Global | 15.5 million | +3% | 2.15 million | −2% | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence |
As of September 30, 2026. Regional volumes are rounded by Benchmark to 0.1 million.
What happened in September 2026?
Global EV sales were 2.15 million in September, down 2% year on year and up 17% month on month. Europe set a monthly record of almost 600,000, with battery-electric sales up 50% and plug-in hybrids up 16%. China’s decline widened to 18%, and North America fell 44% against September 2025 — the last month before the US federal EV tax credit expired, when buyers rushed to purchase.
China’s manufacturers kept the lines running and shipped the surplus abroad: passenger car new energy vehicle (NEV) exports hit a monthly record of 558,000 units in September, per Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. NEV is China’s official category covering BEVs, PHEVs and fuel-cell vehicles.
Aidan Jad: The flat global line hides two motors running in opposite directions. China’s year-to-date drop is mostly plug-in hybrids — down 25%, against 6% for battery-electrics — which tells you the 2026 purchase-tax change hit the cheapest, most price-sensitive part of the market first. The pack chemistry didn’t change in January. The sticker did.
Who Filled China’s Gap? The Ex-China Offset Ratio (ECOR)
The Ex-China Offset Ratio (ECOR) measures how many EV sales markets outside China added for every EV sale China’s market lost over the same period. It is an Axis Intelligence Research calculation, defined only for periods in which China’s sales contract.
Formula. For each region, net change = YTD 2026 sales − YTD 2026 sales ÷ (1 + YTD growth rate). ECOR = (net change in Europe + North America + Rest of World) ÷ |net change in China|.
ECOR inputs, January–September 2026
| Region | Jan–Sep 2026 | Implied Jan–Sep 2025 | Net change | Source of inputs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | 8.1 million | 9.31 million | −1.21 million | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence; Axis calculation |
| Europe | 3.9 million | 3.00 million | +0.90 million | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence; Axis calculation |
| North America | 1.2 million | 1.58 million | −0.38 million | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence; Axis calculation |
| Rest of World | 2.3 million | 1.19 million | +1.11 million | Benchmark Mineral Intelligence; Axis calculation |
| Outside China, net | +1.63 million | Axis calculation | ||
| ECOR | 1.35 | Axis calculation |
Reading: 1.35, as of September 30, 2026 — the baseline reading. Because Benchmark rounds volumes to 0.1 million and growth rates to whole percentages, Axis Intelligence Research tested every combination of ±0.05 million and ±0.5 percentage points on the four regions: ECOR stays between 1.22 and 1.48. In every case, markets outside China more than replaced what China lost.
Split another way, the two growing regions (Europe and the Rest of World) added 2.01 million EV sales, while the two shrinking ones (China and North America) lost 1.59 million.
The share shift is just as sharp. China accounted for 62.3% of global EV sales in 2025 and 52.3% in January–September 2026. Europe rose from 20.8% to 25.2%, and the Rest of World from 8.2% to 14.8% (all Axis calculations from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data).
Aidan Jad: An ECOR above 1 is the number that explains why the world didn’t record its first EV contraction this year. But look at where the offset comes from. More than half of it is the Rest of World, and the IEA says 55% of electric cars sold outside China, Europe and the US in 2025 were imported from China. A large share of China’s “lost” volume didn’t disappear; it got a shipping label. The ratio measures where cars were registered, not where they were built — which is exactly why it is worth tracking separately from China’s export data on our China EV export statistics page.
How Many Electric Vehicles Were Sold in 2025?
More than 20 million electric cars were sold in 2025, up 20% and equal to 25% of all new cars sold, according to the IEA’s Global EV Outlook 2026, published May 20, 2026. It was the fifth consecutive year in which annual sales rose by about 3.5 million. Battery-electric cars made up 65% of electric car sales.
2025 EV sales by region: IEA and Benchmark side by side
The two most-cited datasets measure slightly different fleets, so their totals differ. We publish both rather than averaging them.
| Region | IEA, 2025 (electric cars) | Benchmark, 2025 (cars + light-duty) | Benchmark growth 2025 | Why they differ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global | More than 20 million (25% share) | 20.7 million | +20% | Benchmark includes light-duty vehicles |
| China | More than 13 million (almost 55% share) | 12.9 million | +17% | Rounding and registration vs sales basis |
| Europe | 4.2 million (28% share) | 4.3 million | +33% | Benchmark includes light-duty vehicles |
| United States / North America | About 1.5 million (US; about 10% share) | 1.8 million (North America) | −4% | Benchmark’s region adds Canada and Mexico |
| Rest of World | 2 million (outside China, Europe, US) | 1.7 million | +48% | Different regional boundaries |
Sources: IEA Global EV Outlook 2026; Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, January 14, 2026 release.
The US line is where older pages — including an earlier version of this one — went wrong: 1.8 million is Benchmark’s North America total, not a US figure. The IEA puts US electric car sales at about 1.5 million in 2025, with fourth-quarter sales 45% below Q4 2024 after the federal tax credits ended in September.
Which countries have the highest EV market share?
| Country | Electric share of new car sales, 2025 | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norway | 95.9% battery-electric (about 97% incl. plug-in hybrids) | 179,550 new cars; December 97.6% BEV | OFV; IEA |
| China | Almost 55% | 11 of 12 months above 50% | IEA |
| Viet Nam | Nearly 40% | Southeast Asia’s largest EV market | IEA |
| Germany | Around 30% | Record 850,000 electric cars | IEA |
| Europe (total) | 28% | 4.2 million sales | IEA |
| United Kingdom | Over 1 in 3 | BEVs alone 23% | IEA |
| Southeast Asia | Nearly 20% | Sales more than doubled | IEA |
| Korea | 11% | First double-digit year | IEA |
| United States | Around 10% | About 1.5 million sales | IEA |
| Brazil | 9% | 180,000 sales | IEA |
| India | Nearly 4% | 165,000 sales | IEA |
The IEA counts around 40 countries where electric cars were 10% or more of new car sales in 2025, and close to 100 that set sales records. Country-by-country rankings, including the fastest risers, are on our EV sales by country page; adoption curves are on EV adoption statistics.
How Many Electric Cars Are on the Road Worldwide?
Nearly 80 million EVs (excluding two- and three-wheelers) were on the road in May 2026, according to the IEA, and about 5% of the global car stock was electric at the end of 2025. China alone had an estimated 44 million electric cars on its roads, around 13% of its car stock.
That gap between sales and fleet is the most misunderstood number in EV statistics. Axis Intelligence Research measures it with the Stock Lag Index (SLI) — the EV share of new car sales divided by the EV share of the car stock. The same construction is used on our China EV statistics page, which owns the index.
| Market | EV share of new sales | EV share of stock | SLI | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| World | 25% | About 5% | 5.0 | End-2025 | IEA; Axis calculation |
| China | 49.42% (new registrations) | 13.19% (parc) | 3.75 | H1 2026 | Ministry of Public Security via Axis China EV page |
| Norway | 95.9% (BEV) | 31.78% (BEV) | 3.0 | 2025 sales; fleet as of Dec. 4, 2025 | OFV; Axis calculation |
A world SLI of 5.0 means EVs are five times more common in showrooms than on roads. China’s and Norway’s lower readings show markets where the fleet has started catching up with sales. In Norway, battery-electrics made up 31.78% of the passenger car fleet on December 4, 2025, edging past diesel at 31.76%, per the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV). Europe as a whole sits at about 5% of the car fleet, per the IEA.
Aidan Jad: Fleet share is what grids, fuel retailers and insurers actually feel. A country can sell 30% EVs for years and still run a fleet that is overwhelmingly combustion, because cars stay in service for a long time. When someone says “EVs have taken over,” ask for the stock number, not the sales number.
Are EV Sales Falling in China, the US and Europe in 2026?
China: why EV sales are down 13%
China’s EV sales fell 13% in January–September 2026, per Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, with PHEVs down 25% and BEVs down 6%. The IEA links the slowdown to two policy changes: a 5% purchase tax on electric cars in 2026, and a trade-in subsidy that now scales with vehicle price. EV penetration stayed high because combustion sales fell at least as hard; the IEA recorded China’s monthly electric share above 60% in April 2026.
Exports carry the surplus. The IEA says Chinese electric car exports doubled to more than 2.5 million in 2025, and Chinese automakers supplied 60% of all electric cars sold worldwide.
United States: the post-credit market
US new EV sales were an estimated 262,649 in Q3 2026, about 6.4% of new-vehicle sales, according to Cox Automotive’s Q3 2026 EV sales commentary. That was up from a 5.8% share in Q2 but down 39.5% from Q3 2025, the last quarter before the federal tax credit expired. Tesla accounted for more than half of US EV sales, and the Model Y was 69% of Tesla’s quarter. Cox updated the article on October 13 to correct a figure; its earlier report PDF, dated October 12, carries 266,630, so we use the corrected 262,649. Monthly detail, hybrids included, is on our US EV statistics page.
Europe: battery-electric overtakes petrol in the EU
Battery-electric cars took 22.7% of EU new car registrations in January–September 2026, up from 16.1% a year earlier, according to ACEA’s October 22, 2026 release. That is 1,931,465 BEVs, a 6.6-point share gain (Axis calculation). BEVs now out-register petrol cars (21.2%), and petrol plus diesel together hold just 28.2%. Hybrid-electric cars remain the largest powertrain at 36.3%.
Aidan Jad: Europe’s surge is regulation with a deadline attached. EU carmakers are judged on their average CO2 performance across 2025–2027, so 2027 is the year the bill comes due. That is a compliance curve, not an organic demand curve, and the difference matters for anyone pricing residuals on these cars three years out — see our used EV statistics.
Did the 2026 EV Forecasts Hold Up?
Not for the global total. Every major forecast published in the first half of 2026 assumed faster growth than the market has delivered.
| Forecast | Published | Expected for 2026 | Actual, Jan–Sep 2026 (Benchmark) | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IEA — global | May 20, 2026 | About +10% (to 23 million) | +3% | 7 points |
| IEA — China | May 20, 2026 | Close to +8% | −13% | 21 points |
| IEA — Europe | May 20, 2026 | Close to +20% (to 5 million) | +30% | Beat by 10 points |
| Benchmark — Europe | January 14, 2026 | +14% | +30% | Beat by 16 points |
| Benchmark — US | January 14, 2026 | −29% | North America −24% | Region differs |
Sources: IEA Global EV Outlook 2026; Benchmark Mineral Intelligence releases of January 14 and October 16, 2026. Gaps are Axis calculations.
How much would Q4 have to grow? Benchmark’s 2025 total of 20.7 million minus its implied January–September 2025 figure puts Q4 2025 at about 5.65 million. To finish 2026 at +10%, global sales would need 7.27 million in Q4 2026 — about 29% above Q4 2025. Just to match 2025, Q4 2026 needs 5.2 million, which is 8% below Q4 2025 (all Axis calculations).
So the question for 2026 is no longer whether the year beats forecasts. It is whether it beats 2025 at all — and with January–September already 3% ahead, that bar is low.
How Much Does an EV Battery Cost per kWh?
The average lithium-ion battery pack cost $108 per kWh in 2025, down 8%, and battery-electric car packs averaged $99 per kWh, according to BloombergNEF’s 2025 Lithium-Ion Battery Price Survey, published December 9, 2025. It was the second year BEV packs stayed under $100 per kWh.
| Segment / region | 2025 pack price | Change vs 2024 | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| All segments (global average) | $108/kWh | −8% | BloombergNEF |
| Battery-electric vehicles | $99/kWh | — | BloombergNEF |
| Stationary storage | $70/kWh | −45% | BloombergNEF |
| LFP chemistry (all segments) | $81/kWh | — | BloombergNEF |
| NMC chemistry (all segments) | $128/kWh | — | BloombergNEF |
| China | $84/kWh | −13% (real) | BloombergNEF |
| North America | About $121/kWh | −4% | Axis calculation from BloombergNEF (+44% vs China) |
| Europe | About $131/kWh | −8% | Axis calculation from BloombergNEF (+56% vs China) |
Aidan Jad: The $47 gap between an LFP pack and an NMC pack, and the roughly $47 gap between a pack bought in China and one bought in Europe, matter more to a car’s sticker than the global average does. That’s why the IEA found 70% of battery-electric cars sold in China in 2025 were already cheaper than the average conventional car, while Western buyers still pay a premium. Chemistry and geography set the price; the headline average just reports it. Pack-level detail is on our EV battery statistics page, and running costs on our EV vs gas car cost of ownership analysis.
How Far Do EVs Go, and How Many Models Exist?
The average battery-electric car offered almost 380 km of range in 2025, per the IEA, and that figure has plateaued as cheaper, shorter-range models gained share. Nearly 1,000 electric car models were on sale worldwide in 2025. About 150 new electric models were announced for 2026 and approximately 70 for 2027 — a thinner pipeline, although announcements for a given year usually grow as it approaches.
Electric trucks reached 9% of global truck sales in 2025. In China, one in four trucks sold was electric, and new entrants with no conventional models captured almost 30% of that market, per the IEA.
How Many EV Charging Points Are There Worldwide?
The world had more than 7 million public charging points at the end of 2025, after nearly 1.8 million were added that year (+33%), according to the IEA Global EV Outlook 2026. Private chargers matter more: an estimated 43 million-plus private light-duty charging points served an electric light-duty vehicle stock of around 76 million.
| Market | Public charging points, end-2025 | Electric LDVs per public point | Public kW per electric LDV | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| World | More than 7 million | Around 11 | 4.5 | IEA |
| China | Over 4.7 million (more than 65% of world) | 10 | Nearly 6 | IEA |
| European Union | — | 11 | Around 3 | IEA |
| United States | About 3% of world (vs 10% of electric LDV stock) | 33 | Just over 1.5 | IEA |
| Netherlands | 210,000 | — | — | IEA |
| Germany | 196,000 | — | — | IEA |
| France | 185,000 | — | — | IEA |
| United Kingdom | About 116,000 | — | — | IEA |
China added the equivalent of more than 75% of global public-charger growth in 2025, going from nearly 3.4 million to over 4.7 million points. The US had nearly 70,000 fast and ultra-fast points and over 160,000 slow points, per the IEA.
Aidan Jad: The US line is the one to read twice. Thirty-three EVs per public plug and just over 1.5 kW per car would be a crisis in an apartment-heavy market. It isn’t one yet because most US owners plug in at home — the IEA’s survey data put private charging at almost 75% of sessions worldwide. The public network is sized for the early adopter with a garage, and that buyer is already served. Country rankings and the Charging Coverage Ratio Index (CCRI) are on our EV charging statistics page.
How Much Oil Do Electric Vehicles Displace?
The global EV fleet avoided around 1.7 million barrels of oil per day in 2025, according to the IEA. That figure covers all electric vehicles. Electric cars alone displaced 1.2 million barrels per day. Both numbers come from the same IEA report and measure different fleets — a distinction that explains why EV pages quoting “1.2” and “1.7” are not contradicting each other.
China’s EV stock displaced around 1 million barrels per day in 2025. The IEA expects global displacement to triple to around 5 million barrels per day by 2030. At April 2026 oil prices, annual EV fuel-cost savings in the EU were 35% larger than in 2025, per the IEA. Check your own per-mile cost with our EV charging cost calculator.
EV Statistics 2027: What Is Already Locked In
Three 2027 events are already scheduled, and each changes where EVs get sold:
- April 1, 2027: China cuts its NEV export VAT rebate from 13% to 9%, raising the cost of every car shipped abroad (Benchmark Mineral Intelligence).
- From 2027: an EU–China arrangement, pending member-state approval, would cap imports of Chinese-built full and plug-in hybrids at 350,000 a year. Chinese-made PHEVs rose from 14% of PHEVs sold in the EU, EFTA and UK in 2025 to 29% so far in 2026 (Benchmark Mineral Intelligence).
- 2027: the final year of the EU’s 2025–2027 CO2 averaging window.
For the full forecast, see our EV Market Outlook 2027. As of October 29, 2026, the Axis base case projects 23.9 million global EV sales in 2027, from an estimated 21.3 million in 2026, built region by region.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are global EV sales falling in 2026?
No, but growth has nearly stopped. Global EV sales were 15.5 million in January–September 2026, up 3% year on year, per Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, after 20% growth in 2025. China (−13%) and North America (−24%) fell, while Europe (+30%) and the Rest of World (+93%) grew.
Do plug-in hybrids count as electric vehicles in these statistics?
Yes. The IEA, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and most national statistics count both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles as EVs. Conventional hybrids that cannot plug in are excluded. Battery-electrics were 65% of electric car sales worldwide in 2025, per the IEA.
Why do the IEA and Benchmark report different EV sales for 2025?
They measure different fleets. The IEA counted more than 20 million electric cars; Benchmark Mineral Intelligence counted 20.7 million because it adds light-duty commercial vehicles. Benchmark’s “North America” (1.8 million) also includes Canada and Mexico, while the IEA’s US figure is about 1.5 million.
What share of cars on the road are electric?
About 5% of the global car stock was electric at the end of 2025, per the IEA, even though electric cars were 25% of new sales. Nearly 80 million EVs (excluding two- and three-wheelers) were on the road as of May 2026. China’s share of its car stock was around 13%.
Why did China’s EV sales drop in 2026?
China introduced a 5% purchase tax on electric cars in 2026 and tied its trade-in subsidy to vehicle price, which raised costs most for cheap models, per the IEA. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence shows plug-in hybrids down 25% and battery-electrics down 6% in January–September 2026.
Which country has the highest share of electric car sales?
Norway: battery-electric cars took 95.9% of new car sales in 2025, per the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), and about 97% including plug-in hybrids, per the IEA. China followed at almost 55%, and Viet Nam reached nearly 40%. Among large markets, Germany was around 30% and the United States around 10%.
What does an EV battery pack cost per kWh?
The average lithium-ion pack cost $108 per kWh in 2025, and battery-electric car packs averaged $99 per kWh, per BloombergNEF’s December 2025 survey. Packs averaged $84 per kWh in China; BloombergNEF put North American and European prices 44% and 56% higher.
Will EV sales grow in 2027?
Axis Intelligence Research’s base case, published October 29, 2026 on our EV Market Outlook, projects 23.9 million global EV sales in 2027, about 12% above an estimated 21.3 million in 2026. China’s domestic market is the largest swing factor.
Methodology
Scope. “EV” means battery-electric plus plug-in hybrid vehicles, including extended-range models, unless a row says otherwise. Fuel-cell vehicles are excluded. 2026 figures use Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s monthly series (passenger cars and light-duty vehicles), because it is the only global source with consistent regional data through September 2026. 2025 annual figures are shown from both the IEA (electric cars) and Benchmark, side by side, never blended.
Sources, all fetched October 29, 2026. IEA Global EV Outlook 2026 (May 20, 2026) and its launch press release; Benchmark Mineral Intelligence releases of January 14 and October 16, 2026; BloombergNEF 2025 Lithium-Ion Battery Price Survey press release (December 9, 2025); ACEA EU registrations release (October 22, 2026); Cox Automotive Q3 2026 EV sales commentary (updated October 13, 2026, corrected figure); OFV Norway releases of December 5, 2025 and January 2, 2026. Benchmark’s public release states the global volume (15.5 million) and year-to-date growth for China, Europe, North America and the world; the regional year-to-date volumes and the Rest of World growth rate come from Benchmark’s regional table as distributed with the release and reprinted verbatim by Electric Cars Report on October 16, 2026. The four regions sum to the published global total.
Ex-China Offset Ratio (ECOR). Net change per region = YTD 2026 − YTD 2026 ÷ (1 + YTD growth). ECOR = sum of net changes outside China ÷ absolute net change in China. Arithmetic was run twice, in exact rational arithmetic and in floating point. Because inputs are rounded, we report the band produced by every combination of ±0.05 million and ±0.5 points: 1.22 to 1.48. ECOR is reported only when China’s sales contract; when China grows, the ratio is not defined and we publish China’s share of global growth instead.
Stock Lag Index (SLI). EV share of new car sales ÷ EV share of car stock, as defined on our China EV statistics page. The world reading uses IEA’s 25% and “about 5%”, so it carries the precision of “about 5%”.
Q4 requirement. Q4 2025 = Benchmark 2025 total − (Jan–Sep 2026 ÷ 1.03). The required Q4 2026 applies the IEA’s expected ~10% growth rate to Benchmark’s 2025 base; growth rates, not totals, are compared across sources.
Scope notes. Benchmark’s North America includes Canada and Mexico; Cox data cover the US only. BloombergNEF’s North America and Europe pack prices are derived from its published premiums over China. Charging figures come from chapter 6 of the IEA report and match the values on our EV charging statistics page. Norway’s SLI uses battery-electric shares only, on both legs.

Correction, October 29, 2026: An earlier version of this page described about 1.8 million US electric car sales in 2025 as an IEA figure; the IEA reports about 1.5 million for the US, and 1.8 million is Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s North America total. The earlier version also stated that 2025 BEV pack prices rose from 2024, gave two different global charging-point totals, cited a 2024 oil-displacement figure and electric-truck volumes we could not trace to a primary source, and presented first-person statements without a testing record. Those statements have been corrected or removed, and the EV Inflection Score (EVIS) has been retired because its scoring inputs were not reproducible. Report errors to [email protected].
