Top 5 BEV manufacturers by battery capacity deployed and average battery size
Over the first eight months of 2025, 648.5 GWh of battery capacity was deployed onto roads globally in all newly sold passenger EVs combined, 28% more than the same period last year.
Full electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 82% of the total, or 529.0 GWh, while the share of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) was 17%, at 113.2 GWh.
BEV capacity deployment registered 28% growth and PHEVs 32% year-on-year, thanks to the latter’s expanding average battery size. For the first eight months of the year, the average BEV battery size was 62.4 kWh, down 2% while PHEV packs increased by 3% to a sales weighted average of 24.2 kWh.
