China and Europe power 24% growth in global EV sales in June
Global sales of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles surged 24 per cent in June from a year earlier, driven by strong demand in China and Europe, while the US fell behind, according to the market research firm Rho Motion. Advertisement A total of 1.8 million battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids were sold last month, the London-based firm said on Tuesday. Sales in China jumped 28 per cent to 1.11 million units, or 60 per cent of the worldwide total, while Europe's demand rose 23 per cent to 390,000 units, according to the report. The US, the world's second-largest vehicle market after China, was the laggard, with sales in North America falling 9 per cent to just over 140,000 units, the data showed. Demand in the rest of the world surged 43 per cent to more than 140,000 vehicles, boosting the significance of the emerging markets of Southeast Asia and Central America, Rho Motion said. In the first half of this year, 9.1 million electric vehicles (EVs) were sold globally, a 28 per cent increase from a year earlier. China led with 5.5 million units, followed by Europe with 2 million and North America with 900,000. 10:08 How Chinese companies have pulled ahead of Tesla in the electric vehicle race How Chinese companies have pulled ahead of Tesla in the electric vehicle race '[The] EV sales figures for the first half of 2025 show that China and Europe are steaming ahead in terms of the electric transition,' said Charles Lester, data manager at Rho Motion. Advertisement Lester said he expected subsidies in China to continue in the second half despite 'reports that some cities' subsidies have run out, prompting expectations of a slowdown in the Chinese market'.

Global EV sales jump 24% in June though North American market struggles
Global sales of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles jumped 24% in June from a year ago, as a switch to electric vehicles maintained momentum in China and Europe, market research firm Rho Motion said on Tuesday. Still, EV sales in the United States were down 1% in the month and will struggle to pick up this year, after President Donald Trump's spending bill cut tax credits sooner than anticipated, Rho Motion's data manager Charles Lester said. North America, also weighed by slowing sales in Canada, lagged for the first time behind the "rest of the world" countries, which include emerging markets in Southeast Asia and South and Central America, Lester said. Why it's important Global automakers face a 25% import tariff in the United States, the world's second-largest car market, causing many of them to withdraw their outlooks for 2025. In Europe, incentives for retail and fleet buyers in key markets such as Germany and Spain, alongside a growing availability of cheap EVs, are expected to support electric car sales through the second half of the year. While some of the most successful EVs in the small vehicle segment are produced by European carmakers such as Volkswagen and Renault, those by Chinese brands including BYD are taking up market share in the continent and driving growth in emerging markets, Lester said. By the numbers Global sales of battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids rose to 1.8 million units in June, Rho Motion data showed. Sales in China jumped 28% from the same month last year to 1.11 million vehicles. Europe posted a 23% increase to about 390,000 units, while North American sales fell 9% to over 140,000. Sales in the rest of the world surged 43% to exceed 140,000 vehicles. "There's been reports over the last few months of a slowdown potentially in China" due to some cities running out of subsidies, Lester said. "But overall, we'd expect in (the second half) for more subsidy amounts to be available," leading to a "big boost" in volumes towards the end of the year, he added.
