Methodology
To find the EV ambitions of the world’s largest automakers, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed several sources, including the International Energy Agency’ Electric Vehicles and company and media reports. For the state-owned Chinese automakers we listed China’s EV goals. We ranked the 23 car companies found on the Fortune Global 500 by their 2022 EV sales, using data from EV-volumes.com – the electric vehicle sales database.
We added – also from EV-volumes.com – sales for all low-emission vehicles, which include battery electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fuel cell electric (FCEV). Revenue data is for the company’s most recent fiscal year and came from Fortune. Sales for some companies include joint ventures; for example, GM sales include SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile.
