Europe hits record, North America down 44 percent as EV sales diverge

The global electric vehicle market is showing sharp regional divergence. Europe recorded a September sales record, with volumes up 39 percent year on year to about 600,000 units, led by battery-electric vehicles. North America fell 44 percent to about 130,000 units, though analysts cited a base effect from last year’s rush ahead of the end of a U.S. tax credit. China’s September sales dropped 18 percent to 1.11 million units.

Russia EV share tops U.S.? A closer look at the numbers

Battery electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid sales surged in Russia’s new car market, with plug-in models accounting for 11.5 percent of weekly sales in late September, data cited by InsideEVs showed. The rise was linked to worsening gasoline supply disruptions after Ukrainian attacks on Russian refining facilities, which shifted demand toward electric-drive vehicles. Some have said Russia’s EV share has surpassed the United States, but differences in coverage and timing make direct comparisons difficult.
