Global EV Demand Outside Major Markets Surges Nearly 50% in September
Electric vehicle sales outside traditional strongholds like China and North America soared 48% last month, reaching 153,594 units. While established markets still dominate, emerging regions show accelerating adoption as infrastructure improves and incentives take hold.
China maintained its position as the global EV leader with 1.3 million September sales, representing about two-thirds of worldwide volume. North American demand also hit record levels, though analysts warn the expiration of U.S. federal tax credits may cool fourth-quarter growth.
The surge highlights how policy tools continue shaping EV adoption patterns globally. From European subsidies to developing market incentives, government actions remain pivotal in driving consumer behavior during this energy transition period.
