Gas cars fall below half of global new car sales
Original: Gas cars fall below 50% of global new car sales for the first time
For the first time, petrol and diesel vehicles account for less than 50% of new car sales worldwide, according to Electrek, as electric vehicles and hybrids make up the majority of the market. The milestone reflects the accelerating global shift toward electrification, driven by falling battery costs, expanding model ranges, and strong demand in China and Europe.
Why now: The crossover marks a symbolic tipping point in the transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles.
