Electric mobility
The electric mobility shift
Connects the parts of the electric-mobility shift that move at different speeds: new-car sales, the fleet already on the road, public charging points and their power, manufacturing and battery deployment, and what rising EV demand asks of electricity planning, with a Saudi section on charging and automotive developments. Around one in four new cars sold worldwide in 2025 was electric, on the IEA's 2025 historical data; the dated 2026 updates draw on ACEA, SMMT, EVIQ, PIF, Lucid, CEER and DEWA, and announced targets are kept apart from current infrastructure. Figures are as compiled on 19 September 2026.

What the report covers
The electric mobility shift is changing more than the car market.
Around one in four new cars sold worldwide was electric in 2025. But new-car sales, the existing fleet and public charging infrastructure are moving at different speeds.
This Renewable Vision report connects the pieces:
• Global adoption and emerging markets
• Public charging points, power and access
• Manufacturing and battery deployment
• Saudi Arabia’s charging and automotive developments
• What growing EV demand means for electricity planning
The global comparisons use the IEA’s 2025 historical data. Dated 2026 updates draw on ACEA, SMMT, EVIQ, PIF, Lucid, CEER and DEWA. Announced targets remain separate from current infrastructure.
For Saudi Arabia, the opportunity spans charging services, manufacturing and power-system planning. Their progress needs to be measured with the right units and boundaries.
Which deserves the most attention next: dependable public charging, home-charging access or local grid capacity?
