Global sales of electric cars accelerating
 

Up 43 percent

Global sales of electric cars accelerated fast in 2020, rising by 43 percent to more than three million, despite overall car sales slumping by a fifth during the coronavirus pandemic.

Tesla was the brand selling the most electric cars, delivering almost 500,000, followed by Volkswagen. Sales of electric cars more than doubled in Europe, pushing the region past China as the world's biggest market for them, according to data published on Tuesday by EV-volumes.com, a Sweden-based consultancy.

Sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) made up 4.2 percent of the global car market, up from 2.5 percent in 2019.
