Global electric vehicle sales are experiencing a surge, driven by persistently high oil and fuel prices that are accelerating consumer and policy-driven adoption. Projections suggest that electric vehicles (EVs) may capture approximately 30% of new car sales in 2026.
Wood Mackenzie forecasts that EVs could constitute 25% of the global vehicle fleet by 2040. This figure has the potential to increase by 50% above the base case scenario if policy initiatives, technological advancements, and consumer trends align favorably. The accelerated adoption of EVs could lead to a reduction in oil demand by 5 million barrels per day by 2040, potentially impacting refinery operations and forcing early closures.
