By Harriet Sinclair, Editor at LinkedIn News — Electric vehicles made up 10% of the total new cars sold globally in 2022, marking the highest percentage to date, a big milestone for the market. The growth was largely driven by markets in China and Europe. Worldwide, EV sales totaled 7.8 million units — a 68% uptick on the previous year, research from LMC Automotive and EV-Volumes.com shows. While Tesla leads globally as the most popular EV vehicle, EV sales still only make up “a fraction” of car sales in the U.S. The news comes as the traditional car market suffers amid supply chain snarls and lower sales due to inflation.
