Top 5 plug-in hybrid EV producing countries 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, after expanding by 28% year on year. The share of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) was 17% at 113.2 GWh, recording growth of 32% so far this year.
Since 2002, BEV global battery capacity deployment growth has lagged that of PHEVs. The latter started from a lower base and often expanded at more than double the rate, but now that trend is beginning to reverse.
