In 2024, despite much pessimism surrounding electric cars, the International Energy Agency predicts that electric car sales could reach around 17 million, accounting for over 20% of global car sales. The US has seen growth in luxury EV sales, while China has reached a tipping point with half of all new cars being electric. This rapid uptake of EVs has even shifted oil forecasters’ predictions. Despite challenges such as the US administration’s plans to end EV tax credits, the global push towards EVs continues to strengthen.
