"Any day now" I never mentioned EV's in my post only linked several articles on the demise of oil!! You are the one as usual who is deflecting and changing the subject! Try responding to my actual post rather than changing the subject of it totally, you may get some credibility back if you can formulate some sort of argument (I doubt it though). Your pathetic defense of EVs is now in the trash bucket? I guess so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,485 DL September 23 8 hours ago, Rob Plant said: You are talking about specific countries/areas ie France and Germany, NOT globally. We can all cherry pick! What are the key statistics for electric cars in 2024? So far in 2024, electric car sales have remained strong, continuing the upward trend from 2023, a year where almost 14 million new EVs were registered globally. EV sales in 2024 could reach around 17 million, an increase of over 20% compared to 2023 and accounting for over a fifth of total car sales. Highlighting the rapid growth of the EV market is that EV sales in 2023 were more than 6 times higher than in 2018. In the UK, 1.9 million new cars were registered in 2023 – a figure 17.9% up on 2022 due to the easing of the global semiconductor chip shortage. Of these, 314,687 were EVs. To get more detail, our guide to car sales stats explains all. An estimated 16.7 million electric vehicles will be sold worldwide in 2024. Electric car sales increased by 35% in 2023. Electric car sales are now second only to petrol cars in the UK. In 2024, 25% of all new registered vehicles in Europe will be electric. China will remain the world’s largest EV market in 2024. More than one in ten new vehicles sold in 2024 will be electric-powered. More battery electric vehicles (BEV) were sold in 2023 in the UK than ever before with 314,687 registrations (16.5% of all new car sales), while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) made up 7.4% or 141,311 cars. Seven electric car manufacturers, including Volvo, Mercedes, and Nissan, announced plans to make their vehicles compatible with Tesla’s supercharging network. Since May 2023, the number of rapid and ultra-rapid public charging devices has increased almost 45%. Actually read this link below and learn, its a good read and bang up to date.

Not once did I mention EV's and then since that moment all you have done is mention EV's over and over again! Youre like a broken record, your reply to any topic is that EV sales are going down, we could be talking about who is going to get elected in November and youd say "yeah but EV sales are trending down!"

The EU government supports for EVs were removed last year, about August 2023, and since that time we have seen a veritable meltdown in EU sales of new market EVs.

Natural market limits are the sum of demand for a particular product. For production levels beyond that, you will get price declines on increasing unsold inventories, such as have developed in the EV business. You need to calculate the elasticity of the demand curve for the product to estimate the actual decline in sales.

Now I know the UK is no longer part of the EU, but this is the UK's EV sales Battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations also outperformed the market, rising 6.2% to claim a 17.6% market share, up from 16.9% in the same month last year. May 2024 New Car Registrations - SMMT Media Centre in June 2024, 34,034 new electric cars registered, which is 19% of all new car registrations. The total market share for new cars registered with a plug (either fully electric or PHEV) stands at an impressive 28.3%. It seems some markets are down and some are up dependent on government policy and import tariffs of that country. Again ECO anyone can cherry pick a couple of countries! Are China EV sales down??? Its the biggest market in the world so shouldnt be ignored! Just saying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your own administration rejects the idea that hybrids are acceptable as electric vehicles, so that is just more fossil fuel vehicles. So your country stopped production of vehicles in June?

Youre now talking production levels when we were talking sales! Why cant you ever stick to what we are talking about? If manufacturing plants are converting their factories from ICE production to EV production as your article states then what does that tell you Mr.Economist??? Doesnt it say clearly the disruption to business as usual will mean a decline in general production, but the bigger picture means they are moving away from producing ICE vehicle and moving toward producing EV's! Thanks for totally ruining your own argument, glad to see you finally agree with me old man.
