Summary:
Last year, the EV City Casebook set a baseline for global electric vehicle (EV) market discussions. Yesterday, the landmark Global EV Outlook (GEO) report took readers from this city-focus to a global one, painting a data-driven picture of the global EV market trajectory. Authored by the Clean Energy Ministerial's Electric Vehicles Initiative ( EVI ), these reports show that EVs are emerging as a window of opportunity in a global clean-energy transition.Global electric vehicle (EV) sales more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, leading to a global stock topping 180,000.
