'Whelp, that was fast. Yesterday morning
CleanTechnica took note of a glimmer
of hope for EV sales amid a spate of bad news, and just a few hours later along
comes the research firm Rho Motion to drop an email in our inbox with a whole
truckload of good news.
So much for cautious optimism on the state of the global electric vehicle
market.
Rho Motion crunched the numbers and came up with a record breaking sales pace
of 660,000 electric vehicles sold globally in January. That was 12 months ago,
back in January 2023.
This year’s January EV sales blew past that mark by 69% for a total of more
than 1 million.
“In the EU & EFTA & UK, EV sales have grown by 29% y-o-y, 41% in the USA &
Canada, and almost doubled in China,” Rho Motion added, with EFTA referring to
the European Free Trade Association.
Subsidy cuts in some jurisdictions had an impact on EV sales in January
compared to December, but the impact did not offset the year-over-year gains.
“In Germany, EV sales halved m-o-m following the end of the subsidy. However,
y-o-y sales increased by 40%,” Rho Motion noted. “Likewise in France, EV sales
also halved m-o-m but saw a 20% increase y-o-y.”
“Europe in total increased sales by just shy of a third (29%) compared to
January of last year demonstrating the demand for electric vehicles is well
established now,” they concluded.'
