Viet Nam has doubled its EV sales share since 2024 to reach close to 40% in 2025, overtaking the UK and the EU for EV sales penetration. Thailand has exceeded 20% EV sales share for the first time so far this year, up from 1% in 2019. Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam have all reached higher battery electric vehicle sales shares than the EU average.

India, Mexico and Brazil now have a higher EV sales share than Japan, while Indonesia’s EV sales share has reached 15% this year, overtaking the US for EV penetration.
