"5 October: The xEV Share Tracker with the global August data is uploaded to the Data Center. It covers 95 % of the world light vehicle sales in 55 countries and 99 % of the global sales of EVs and Hybrids. Plug-ins (BEV & PHEV) reached a combined 9,9 % of August light vehicle sales in the top 55 markets combined, which was 5,8 %-points higher than a year ago. Hybrids and Mild Hybrids reached 10,4 % compared to 7,0 % in August 2020. Global auto-sales were weak in August: Europe -16 % y/y, China -14 % y/y, USA -17 %. Sales for ICE-only vehicles are contracting even faster, while sales of BEVs, PHEV, HEVs and MHEVs keep growing."

Don't forget you can't build an EV without having the lithium for the battery.
