Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
Over the last three years, expansive energy transition and climate mitigation policy frameworks have been deployed on both sides of the Atlantic.

Au-delà du défi technologique, penser le monde de l’après-pétrole représente une gageure aussi bien politique, que sociale et économique. Car certains usages du pétrole, comme la pétrochimie, trouvent difficilement des substituts.
While Europe has long promoted both energy efficiency and renewable energy, recent EU policies reflect an increased ambition regarding its energy transition.
The EU Emissions Trading System is a key tool to orient investments toward technologies with lower carbon intensity.
Authors discuss the transformational nature of the European Climate Law and its related policy instruments.
With the European Climate Law, the EU has adopted binding legislation requiring it to achieve a 55 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050.
