UK Hosts Nationwide EV Rally Highlighting Clean Energy Transition

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing uneven growth with China leading in adoption, Europe steadily advancing under strict emissions policies, and the United States facing delays due to policy and infrastructure challenges. In China, new energy vehicles are expected to reach a 50% market share by 2025, while Europe is projected to surpass petrol and diesel sales by 2028, crossing 50% EV sales by 2032. The US EV adoption milestone is now delayed to 2039 amid high costs and charging infrastructure gaps. Ireland exemplifies recovery within Europe, with significant year-on-year increases in EV registrations supported by government incentives. The European EV transition is on track and accelerating, driven by falling battery costs, expanding charging infrastructure, and stricter CO₂ standards, with the EU becoming a net exporter of electric cars. Meanwhile, the UK showcased EV capabilities and infrastructure in the 2025 EXPLORER EV Rally, and Qatar is advancing its EV charging network with fast chargers and renewable energy integration to support increasing EV adoption.
