Global EV sales reached approximately 20.7 million in 2025, a 20% increase from 2024, as electric vehicles crossed 20% of worldwide light-vehicle sales. While China and Europe continue to lead in adoption, the U.S. market saw its share hover near 9-10% with a late-2025 pullback after incentive changes. A major competitive shift saw BYD surpass Tesla in annual global deliveries, while Tesla’s U.S. market share declined to the mid-40% range. Meanwhile, the used EV market is expanding rapidly as three- to five-year-old vehicles enter inventory at discounted prices, reshaping affordability and residual values. This article analyzes the underlying trends, regional dynamics, and long-term implications for supply chains and industry strategy.
