Over the past four years, the electric vehicle (EV) market has witnessed unprecedented growth. In 2020, global EV sales were approximately 3 million units. By 2021, this number surged to around 6.6 million, doubling the previous year’s sales. This trend continued with 2022 and 2023 showing robust growth, with EV sales reaching around 10 million and 12 million units, respectively. Several factors contributed to this surge, including increased environmental awareness, government incentives, and advancements in battery technology. Major markets such as China, Europe, and the United States saw significant upticks in EV adoption, supported by stringent emission regulations and substantial investments in EV infrastructure.
