September 2025: Global Electric Vehicle Surge and China’s Rapid Rise Published By Anupam Nath The month of September 2025 marked a historic milestone for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Worldwide EV deliveries skyrocketed to a record 2.1 million units, with a remarkable 62% of those vehicles made in China. This number was higher than any previous month, showcasing how rapidly the world is adopting electric transportation solutions.New Strength in the EV MarketThe record surge in EV deliveries was mainly driven by the growing interest among Chinese consumers and the rising popularity of electric cars in Europe. Compared to September 2024, global EV deliveries in September 2025 were up by 24%. According to London-based consultancy Rho Motion, this was the first time that monthly EV deliveries exceeded the 2 million mark. This momentum was felt not just in China, but across Europe and other regions as well.China’s Dominance in the EV IndustryChina has now become the world’s largest EV market. In September 2025 alone, nearly 50 Chinese EV manufacturers delivered a total of 826,000 fully electric cars, an increase of about 28.5% compared to the same period last year. Including hybrid cars, the total figure reached 1.3 million. This means that Chinese vehicles accounted for 62% of all global EV deliveries. This not only boosted the confidence of Chinese companies but also strengthened their grip on the global EV supply chain.Companies like BYD are now exporting their electric cars to countries around the world. According to BYD, 20% of their total sales in 2025 are expected to come from exports, up from just 10% in 2024.Government Policies and Growing EV ConfidenceChina’s EV-friendly policies have played an essential role in this growth. Currently, EV buyers in China enjoy a 10% sales tax exemption, which is encouraging more people to purchase electric vehicles. However, this tax break will end in 2026, but experts believe that it will drive EV sales even higher through the end of 2025. Industry insiders feel that China’s leadership will remain a central force in the global EV sector.Europe’s EV BoomAt the same time, Europe also saw a tremendous jump in EV sales. In September 2025, EV deliveries in Europe reached a record 427,000 units, further proving that pollution-free and efficient transport is gaining ground.ConclusionThe record EV growth seen in September 2025, led by China, is not just a testament to the country’s unmatched momentum but also a sign that the entire world is moving towards greener transportation. In the coming years, EVs will not only make travel more affordable but also prove beneficial for our environment.
