A recent CleanTechnica analysis warns that the United States may end up dead last in vehicle electrification among major markets. The warning follows reports showing Brazil's share of pure electric vehicles has almost caught up with the US level, a striking sign of how quickly other countries are advancing.
China remains the clear leader, with domestic sales and exports accelerating. Meanwhile, the US appears to be stagnating relative to peers, raising questions about competitiveness, supply chains, and climate goals.
The article draws on separate reporting about Chinese carmakers expanding in Brazil and other markets. Both sources agree that global EV adoption is surging, but they differ in emphasis: one highlights Chinese dominance, the other focuses on Brazil's rapid progress. Together, they underscore how the US is losing ground in the global transition to electric vehicles.
