"Convincing everyone to adopt a new technology can be a slog at first. The
humble microwave oven, for example, took two decades of lukewarm sales to reach
just a tenth of US households. But then came the 1980s, and quicker than you
could say “Hot Pockets,” microwaves had spread to nearly every kitchen.
That fast part of the technology adoption curve is happening now with electric
vehicles, according to a
Bloomberg Green analysis of adoption rates around
the world. When we first completed this analysis a year ago, 19 countries had
passed what’s become a critical EV tipping point: 5% of new car sales powered
only by electricity. This threshold signals the start of mass adoption, when
technological preferences rapidly flip. Since then, five more countries have
made the leap.
The newcomers — Canada, Australia, Spain, Thailand and Hungary — join a cohort
that also includes the US, China and most of Western Europe. The trajectory
laid out by these early adopters shows how EVs can surge from 5% to 25% of new
cars in just four years."
