If you think back a decade or more to when electric vehicles started becoming more mainstream, you probably think of Tesla or maybe even the Toyota Prius. The selection of EVs was very limited and often very expensive and if you were one of those forward-thinking people who were all about electric, you were definitely in the minority.

Fast forward to 2022, and most people have it in their minds that sooner or later, they will have to make the switch to an electric vehicle. Whether it’s the rising cost of gas, the environment or just the sheer fact that the global community is starting to put mandates in place for emissions-free transportation, it seems inevitable that we will all be riding that battery on wheels sometime soon.

The good news is that the global electric vehicle market is growing exponentially. In 2012, the electric vehicle market saw global sales of around 130,000. Today, that number of electric vehicles are sold every week. In 2021, EV sales reached 6.6 million. That’s triple the number of EV sales in 2019 and accounts for 9% of the global market.  

According to an IEA (International Energy Agency) estimate, there are around 16 million electric vehicles on roads all over the world, and that number is increasing every year. The amount of CO2 that these electric vehicles prevent from polluting our planet is massive. Don’t we all want to be a part of something that great?

Whether you want something small and practical, something sporty or luxurious or something utility-based like an SUV or pickup truck, there is an electric vehicle out there to suit every taste and budget.
