Electric car sales are soaring worldwide, but the one that truly benefits from this growth is China. Chinese producers supplied 60% of the electric cars sold globally in 2025, while European and North American manufacturers were each responsible for approximately 15% of global sales, according to a report on the global electric vehicle market by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
