Content: * In this report, we use the term electric vehicles (EVs) to refer to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), as well as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). 1 Unless specifically stated, our analysis has considered both forms of drivetrain.

PHEVs are capable of zero-emission driving, typically between 20 and 30 miles, and can run on petrol or diesel for longer trips. As the name suggests, they need to be plugged in to an electricity supply to maximise their zero-emission capability. Part 1 – Global progress and forecast

Looking back at BEVs in 2019, they accounted for 74 per cent of global EV sales:
