Perhaps the metric that is most important to track, is the electrification rate of the total car population.
Norway leads, with 27% of all cars on Norwegian roads being electric at the end of 2022. Iceland follows at 16%, and the rest follow with single digit progress.
Here, we can see clearly that the USA lags far behind, having only electrified 2.1% of their national fleet of vehicles, below the 2.4% world average.
China has electrified nearly 5% of the vehicles on its roads, ahead of smaller countries like Belgium and Switzerland.
