Electric vehicle adoption is changing—and 2025 may be a turning point.
In this special presentation from the Electric Vehicle Society (EVS), Glenn Gary, President of the Vancouver EV Association, breaks down the latest global EV adoption trends and what they reveal about the future of electric vehicles.
What’s really happening with EV sales worldwide?
Is EV growth slowing—or simply shifting?
This data-driven session explores:
• Global EV sales trends in 2025
• EV vs ICE vehicle adoption rates
• Key markets: North America, China, and Europe
• Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) vs plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)
• Changes in EV market share and growth patterns
• The role of policy, incentives, and charging infrastructure
• What these trends mean for the future of transportation
Whether you’re an EV owner, considering switching from a gas car, or just want a clear, factual view of where the market is heading, this presentation delivers a grounded, evidence-based perspective.
