Norway is in a category of its own: at 97%, the combustion-engine car has effectively disappeared from its showrooms. China, the world's largest car market, crossed the majority threshold with 55%, meaning most new cars sold there are now electric. The most striking outlier is Vietnam at 40%, ahead of every established European market including the United Kingdom (34%) and Germany (30%). A clear three-tier pattern emerges: near-total adoption in Norway, majority adoption in China, and a broad middle tier of 20-40% across Europe and Southeast Asia. The United States lags the leaders at 10%, on par with South Korea (11%) and Brazil (9%), while India, the world's third-largest car market, sits at just 4% - suggesting the next decade of EV growth will be decided in Asia's price-sensitive markets.
