China is such a huge car market that it makes the rest of the world looks small. About 23 million cars will be sold in China in 2024, with battery EV sales of over 6 million and plug-in hybrid EV sales of almost 5 million. Car sales in the US will come to about 16 million. Irish new car sales will be about 120,000, of which about 17,000 are battery EVs and 13,000 are plug-in hybrids.
