Maybe not every single country, sure.

In the EU sales are sluggish.

“Current sales of EVs in Europe have stalled at just over 2 million a year, as early adopters and corporate purchasing peaked out. Schmidt Automotive Research said during the opening third of 2024 Western Europe EV market share stalled at 14.4% compared with the same period last year, according to its provisional data.”



It’s fascinating the language used around EV sales. You have used “sluggish” where others might have used “stable”. In the past we had articles saying sales were “slowing” when in fact they were growing, just not growing as fast.

There are other regions that are growing, but I see little relevance to the original point unless people expected continued growth in every region with no blips?
