Several key market indicators, such as EV sales and charging infrastructure developments, hit record highs, despite turbulent energy prices in some markets. The fourth edition of the Index, covering 30 markets in five regions – Europe, China, Americas, Middle East and Asia (other) – and 31 indicators, is based on industry interviews, primary research and a survey of 16,000 participants from all regions conducted in the first half of 2023.

Third, as the percentage of EV owners who report using public charging reaches 90%, we analyze changing customer behaviors and find that range anxiety is still a major problem.Lastly, we examine the emerging regionalization of OEMs' strategies with regard to EV charging infrastructure, especially the different approaches applied in the United States and China.Cover photo Andrew Merry/Getty Images45EV Charging Index Edition 4EV Charging Index Edition 4All of the top five performers in the fourth edition of the Index increased or maintained their score ...
