IEA analysis based on data from EV Volumes.

Notes

SUV = sports utility vehicle. Range is calculated using the global sales-weighted average vehicle efficiency of battery electric vehicles and their battery capacity by size segment. The vehicle efficiency considered in calculations reflects on-road driving conditions by applying a factor of 1.1 to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) vehicle efficiency (in [kWh/100 km]). The range considers full battery utilisation, from 100% to 0% state of charge. Small cars include A and B segments; medium cars include C and D segments, A segments with SUV body type and B segments with multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) body type; large cars include E and F segments, B segments with SUV body type and D segments with MPV body type; SUV includes segments C to F with SUV body type and remaining segments with MPV body type.
