class="content__text" 🚘 New data shows that one in every seven cars sold globally is now an electric vehicle (EV). EVs' share of sales has risen from one-in-70 just five years ago. At the same time, conventional car sales have fallen by a quarter. However, the International Energy Agency warns EV sales are not yet growing fast enough to blunt the rising CO2 impact of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). The 330m SUVs on the world’s roads emit around a billion tonnes of CO2 a year, nearly a third of the total from all cars. #car #EV #electricvehicle #SUV #sportsutilityvehicle #carbondioxide #globalwarming #climatechange #co2
