If market numbers matter, it turns out that 2021 has been a big year for electric vehicles (EVs). Despite continued consumer concerns about range and negative news linked to manufacturers like Tesla and GM, data shows that electric cars are on track to revolutionize the way we drive (and refuel).
According to TriplePundit , the International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded that EV sales last year amounted to 6.6 million, which was double the total sold in 2020 and triple the number that left dealerships in 2019, that is, a market share of 9%.
Will electric cars be the norm?
To put these figures in context, 130,000 electric Changsha Mobile Number List cars were sold worldwide in 2012. Now, that total is traded in a single week. Currently, the IEA estimates that there are 16 million EVs on roads and highways around the world.
The majority were purchased in China (3.4 million) and Europe (2.3 million). More cars of this type were sold last year in the eastern country alone than in the entire world in 2020. In Europe they increased by 70% compared to 2020 figures. In the United States, total sales in 2021 amounted to about half million, doubling the market share to 4.5%.
The IEA credits automakers with their share of the credit for this overall increase in sales.
Government policies remain the main driver of global electric car markets, but their dynamism in 2021 also reflects a very active year for the industry.
IEA report.
These commitments suggest that the auto industry's continued promises on electrification may have a lot of substance. The past few years have been confusing, as manufacturers have announced electrification plans while phasing out smaller sedans and compacts in favor of SUVs and pickup trucks.
Companies bet on EV
Volkswagen, Toyota and Ford are some of the producers that have announced these plans in the last year. Although infrastructure has a long way to go to support the industry's promise of an all-electric future, it is clear that consumers are buying into this vision. The launch of more models in the coming months could create even more excitement for EVs.
If all-electric pickup trucks become mainstream, that momentum could pick up in 2022.
Although the last decade has seen a steady increase in electric passenger vehicle offerings, 2022 will be the year truck buyers can finally get in on the action.

If you want to know what an all-electric future could look like, take a look at Norway, a long-time pioneer in the slow but steady shift to electric cars. January sales showed how EVs have become, by far, consumers' favorites.
In a month in which car sales were slow, 84% of all new cars sold in that nation were electric, and 19 of the 20 most sold models needed a plug, not a tank, to operate. The list included models from Audi, Hyundai, BMW and Kia.
