They said EV was dying 🤣
By now, anyone with a brain can spot the lies online around EV, they are outdated and spread by fragile men that have barely the basic knowledge of electric cars.
The latest Global EV Outlook from the International Energy Agency shows that electric vehicle growth is not slowing down globally, it’s accelerating.
Over 20 million EVs were sold worldwide in 2025, meaning 1 in 4 new cars sold was electric.
In 2026, that figure is expected to rise again to around 23 million vehicles, approaching 30% of all global new car sales.
Europe saw EV sales jump by more than 30% last year, while China continues to dominate global production and demand.
Countries that were considered “late adopters” are now seeing rapid growth too, largely because EVs are becoming more affordable and widely available.
What’s interesting is that this isn’t just being driven by environmental policy anymore.
Lower running costs, improving charging infrastructure, better battery technology, rising fuel prices and increased model choice are all pushing adoption higher.
In some markets, EVs are now cheaper to buy than equivalent petrol cars.
The narrative online often feels disconnected from reality.
If you only read comment sections, you’d think EV sales were collapsing.
Meanwhile in the real world, manufacturers are investing billions, governments are tightening emissions regulations, charging networks are expanding rapidly, and consumers are continuing to switch in record numbers.
The IEA expects EV market share to continue climbing strongly over the next decade, with many regions moving from “early adoption” into true mass market territory.
