Global energy transition investment set a record of 2.3 trillion US dollars in 2025, with electric transportation becoming the primary growth engine.

BloombergNEF's "Energy Transition Investment Trends" report shows that in 2025 global energy transition investment reached a record $2.3 trillion, up 8% year-on-year. Electric transport became the largest investment sector at $893 billion, surpassing renewable energy ($690 billion) and power grids ($483 billion). Clean energy supply chain investment rose 6% to $127 billion, driven mainly by battery manufacturing and battery materials, but overcapacity continued to weigh on prices. At the regional level, Asia-Pacific accounted for 47% of global investment; China remained in the lead with $800 billion, but its renewable energy investment saw its first decline since 2013; the EU grew 18% to $45.5 billion, and the US grew 3.5% to $37.8 billion. This article analyzes the implications of this shift in capital flows for the global EV industry from the perspectives of the battery supply chain, charging infrastructure, and power grid construction.

Global EV markets, launches and company moves

Coverage focused on model strategy, manufacturing shifts, vehicle segments and demand patterns across mature and emerging EV markets.

In 2025, global EV sales reached 20.7 million units, up 20% year-on-year. Europe grew 33%, North America fell 4%, and China grew 17% but slowed in the second half of the year. Policy rollbacks and protectionism have led to market divergence. In 2026, the United States is expected to see a sharp decline, Europe to continue growing, and China to face new purchase tax policies. The industry is shifting from being policy-driven to market-driven.

ChargePoint "2026 Charging Forward" Report: 27% of Global New Cars Are Now Electric, Charging Infrastructure Still Catching Up

ChargePoint released the "2026 Charging Forward" report, citing the metric that 27% of global new car sales are electric vehicles, while noting that the installation pace of new charging ports lags behind EV charging demand. This assessment shifts industry focus from vehicle penetration rates to the pace of charging infrastructure buildout: whether the investment pace of charging operators, the grid, automakers, and the supply chain can match the speed of electrification will directly affect the efficiency of advancing EV Adoption and Energy Transition.

Intelligent Driving Test System SDTS: From Human Examiners to the Data-Driven Assessment Revolution

A study published in *Scientific Reports* proposes a fully integrated Smart Driving Test System (SDTS). Its functional prototype is driven by sensors and microcontrollers, replacing subjective manual evaluation with objective data, and achieving scalable deployment through robust RS485 communication and modular design. The paper also covers feasibility across technical, economic, operational, and compliance dimensions, and looks ahead to enhancements such as machine learning, low-power wireless, and cloud analytics. This research provides a new technical pathway for the digital transformation of traffic licensing infrastructure and for safety certification in the era of autonomous driving.
