HERE-SBD EV Index 2025 Summary Report

The HERE-SBD EV Index 2025 is a comprehensive report assessing the maturity of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and adoption across global markets. It highlights the expected growth in global EV sales, projected to exceed 20 million units by 2025, and emphasizes the urgent need for a scalable charging infrastructure to support this transition. The report incorporates a consumer survey of over 2,000 drivers from various countries, revealing insights into consumer satisfaction and preferences regarding EV adoption. The index evaluates multiple metrics, including the ratio of public charge points to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and the average charging power, to determine regional infrastructure readiness. It introduces a balance score to identify regions that may lack critical characteristics necessary for optimal EV uptake. The findings indicate that while some regions are well-positioned for growth, others face challenges due to uneven infrastructure development. The report aims to equip decision-makers with data to enhance EV infrastructure and consumer experience.
