Last year, global sales of new electric vehicles passed one million units for the first time, reaching 1.2 million units, according to McKinsey’s Electric Vehicle Index.

The Chinese market expanded by 72 percent over the previous year, solidifying its leadership position in EV sales. The country now has a larger EV market — primarily pure electric vehicles — than Europe and the United States combined.

According to McKinsey’s latest EVI rankings, China was outperformed only by Norway in the EVI market score and reinforced its leading position — ahead of Japan, Germany, and the United States — in the EVI industry score.

McKinsey’s Electric Vehicle Index assesses the e-mobility performance of 15 key countries around the world. The index explores two key dimensions of electric mobility development: demand (EVI market score) and supply (EVI industry score).

Let's take a look at the top 10 countries leading the EVI market score rankings.
