Electric Vehicles
…break records as affordability improves
Despite recent economic headwinds that have put pressure on the auto sector, global sales of electric cars have continued to break records as electric models become increasingly affordable. Electric car sales exceeded 17 million globally in 2024, reaching a sales share of more than 20%. Just the additional 3.5 million electric cars sold in 2024 compared with the previous year is more than the total number of electric cars sold worldwide in 2020.
In 2025, sales of electric cars are expected to surpass 20 million, accounting for over a quarter of cars sold worldwide…

Solar PV
…is added annually through the end of this decade. Even so, low costs, faster permitting and broad social acceptance are set to continue to drive the accelerating adoption of solar PV. As a result, capacity is set to more than double between 2025 and 2030 compared with the 2019 to 2024 period.
A growing share of variable renewable sources such as solar also comes with challenges. Curtailment levels and instances of negative electricity prices have been increasing in many markets. A rapid increase in power system flexibility and grid investment is necessary to integrate future growth securely and cost-effectively.

Energy End-uses and Efficiency Indicators
…The Energy End-uses and Efficiency Indicators database contains annual data from 2000 covering end use energy consumption by energy product, end use carbon emissions, associated indicators across four sectors of final consumption (industry, services, residential and transport) and energy decomposition analysis, to show the impact of different drivers (e.g. activity, structure and efficiency) on consumption trends, for the IEA member countries and beyond. The database includes the full disaggregation available of for all the years between 2000 and 2024. The indicators are computed by using key sectorial activity data, for example, passenger-kilometre energy intensity by mode/vehicle…
