About this event

Electrification is poised to be one of the biggest growth opportunities in our industrial economy. In the electric car market alone, electric vehicles (EVs) doubled in 2021 from the previous year to a new record of 6.6 million. Nearly 10% of global car sales were electric in 2021, four times the market share in 2019. This brought the total number of electric cars on the world’s roads to about 16.5 million, triple the amount in 2018. (source: Global EV Outlook 2022)
