Global EV car sales surge 63% in 2018
Global sales of passenger car electric vehicles (EVs) jumped by 63% last year to top 2 million units for the first time, helped by surging sales of plug-in EVs in the US, according to data provided by EV-Volumes.
A total of 2.08 million plug-in EVs were delivered to customers in 2018, or 2.2% of total car sales, EV-volumes data shows. Of the total, 1.45 million were pure electric EVs and the rest were plug-in hybrid models, it said.
While China continued to dominate the outright number of EV sales last year, in the US Tesla’s new Model-3 became the world’s best-selling EV of all time, boosting total US EV sales by 81% year-on-year, the data shows.
China remains the engine of growth for passenger EVs, and thus the location of most displaced oil demand. EV sales in China rose 76% on the year in 2018, to make up just over half of global EV total, with 1.17 million vehicles sold.
In November, the International Energy Agency raised its estimate for the number of electric cars on the roads in 2040, predicting that the expected 300 million EVs on the roads globally in 2040 will displace 3.3 million b/d of oil demand growth.
S&P Global Platts Analytics forecasts that plug-in EVs, including plug-in hybrids, will account for nearly half of global auto sales by 2040, displacing some oil demand as a transport fuel and expanding the role of the electricity sector.
NORWAY LEADING EV CHARGE
Despite surging EV sales, the combined market share of plug-in EVs still remains a fraction of the global passenger vehicle market, the EV-Volumes figures show.
At the end of 2018, some 5.3 million plug-in EVs were on the road making up just 0.5% of world’s total light vehicle fleet, according to EV-Volumes.
Norway continues to enjoy the highest EV penetration level by far with more than 40% of light vehicle sales last year. Iceland, Sweden, and the Netherlands follow with EV sales penetration rates of 17.1%, 7.2% and 5.2% respectively, the data shows. Regionally, plug-in vehicle sales in Europe reached 408,000 units in 2018, 33 % higher than in 2017.
A number of oil market watchers believe the uptake of EV will outpace many of the more established estimates from forecasters such as the IEA.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch believes global oil demand growth will peak by 2030 due largely to the proliferation of EVs. Bloomberg New Energy Finance expects cost parity between EVs and conventional cars could be reached around 2025, spurring sales further.
As a result, the world’s switch from internal combustion engines to EVs will displace 7.3 million b/d of transport fuel by 2040, according to BNEF’s latest annual outlook.
Critics of bullish EV sales forecast, however, point to their current dependence on government subsidies in a number of key markets, production constraints for key battery minerals such as cobalt and the limitations of transmission and distribution grids to cope with increases in electricity demand.

Clogged we know you enable and support your little South American closet Nazi. He kisses your ass occasionally and you love his rabid anti-American Shit. I am not triggered and obsessed dumbass. He is the one who stalks and pricks me daily. This has been going on daily since July and you of all people should comment on this because you routinely whine about the noise JuanP makes. If he is going to attack me, steal my identity, and use sock puppets against me he is going to get it back 1 for one. That is called self-defense. With the amount of shit he throws at me there is no ignoring him. If he wants to ignore me nothing more is said. Dirty Juan is so triggered and obsessed he can’t imagine his life without a focus for his depressive anger. I call it victory and the same can be said about you who I neuter daily. You are both ugly extremist assholes.

“The Zombification Of America Accelerates – 45% Of Teens Are Online “Almost Constantly””
https://tinyurl.com/y6ch3skb
“Fully 95% of teens have access to a smartphone, and 45% say they are online ‘almost constantly’, according to the latest Pew Research Center poll, increasing concerns, about what The Atlantic’s Jean Twenge calls the most crucial question of our age… “have smartphones destroyed a generation?””
“If you were going to give advice for a happy adolescence it would be straightforward: Put down the phone, turn off the laptop, and do something—anything—that does not involve a screen.”
“The correlations between depression and smartphone use are strong enough to suggest that more parents should be telling their kids to put down their phone. “

South America is not a failed continent. It actually has the best relation of resources, climate, and population of any continent in the world. There is only one failed nation in all of South America, Venezuela, and the USA is more responsible for that than any other party. Even Europe has Ukraine and North America has the USA, both failed nations.

I am going to attack you, Davy. It will be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth until we are both blind and toothless. I hope you can pay the dentist! LOL! I have never used a sock puppet or stolen an identity, you are the one that does that daily, and have admitted to it on multiple occasions. What you do is not self defense, Davy, it is bullying, and you have been doing it for years since long before I started paying you back. I am not going to attack you until you stop attacking others back; since you are psychologically incapable of doing that I expect this to last indefinitely. I am having fun fucking with you, but I would prefer to enjoy peace here, so if you stop bullying others, I promise you that I will do the same.

Hello Makati1,
“EVs are for people who never have to go anywhere. Who live in places that do not get too hot or too cold. That has recharging locations. (Few) In other words, a techie toy for those with money to waste. ICE will be here until there is no oil to burn.”
**I have it on good authority that if you sail west far enough, you will fall off the end of the earth.**
Too few charging locations???? Have you tuned into Plugshare.com lately? Do you not realize that most EV drivers recharge from home? or at work? Over the past year, I drew only 30 kwhrs from public charging stations. That’s about $3.00 worth of electricity; that’s hardly significant but enough to add 120 miles of range.
Most of us have to travel to find food, clothing, fuel, etc. EVs are a possible solution in a time when fuel may become more expensive.
how do you make inexpensive batteries with high energy densities? To say it can’t happen is just as crazy to say it will definitely happen. The best way is to ask what do we need, how do we get there? Some ideas pan out and many don’t but to say that **blank** will happen is like saying that it will rain on Tuesday a year from now.
You may want to start asking questions, **even if you know the answer**. The internet can be a great place for gaining insight or it can degenerate into frustrating shouting matches to links nobody is interested in because you don’t like the person’s position. Your pick.
For instance, Exxon Mobil has a graph depicting the cresting of world crude oil supply at around the year 2040. Is this because the remaining oil, in the form of tar sands, shale oil and oil shale will be too expensive to extract process and ship? Will it be that EVs take hold due to low battery pack costs with higher energy densities and high efficiency solar causing less oil needed to supply the remaining ICE market?
Lot of opportunity to ask meaningful questions.

PeterEV, you are living in a techie dreamland. Do you take into consideration that the next financial collapse (coming soon) is going to end your dreams? Apparently not. There will be no bright future provided by tech. It will be a future of survival, not luxury. Tech is luxury, not necessity.
Like all of the techie articles, you use a lot of words like: if, maybe, possibly, etc. Nothing definite. I use words that are definite. The future is definitely not anywhere near the one you dream of. Not even close. Enjoy what you have now, for it is going to disappear in your lifetime. Probably in the next few years.

I have never met Boney Joe. You are the one that keeps claiming that he is my gay boyfriend. Are you projecting some repressed needs, and maybe wish he was your boyfriend? Not that you stand a chance! Boney Joe is a decent person and would never engage in any type of relationship with you; he knows better! He once mentioned he engaged in sex with another man once, and you have been on his case ever since. Your homophobia is another one of your character flaws, a really bad one, IMO. I admire Boney Joe for being able to expose himself to attack like that; it takes real courage to do that, not that you would understand that since you are a coward through and through. You are not 1% of the man he is, and will never be.
