Our comprehensive report EVvolumes.com According to the annual data collected by the website recently, the global sales of battery electric vehicles (Bev) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) will reach 3.24 million in 2020, an increase of 43% compared with 2.26 million in 2019. Among them, 1.4 million were sold in Europe.

This is the first time that Europe has overtaken China in terms of electric vehicle growth since 2015. Part of the reason for the surge in car sales in Europe is that car manufacturers must meet the average emission targets set by the European Union by 2020.
