•In leading EV markets (e.g., China, XPENG), electric vehicles are no longer a niche product but an expected standard, shifting the sales focus from basic electrification benefits to advanced EV-specific technologies.
•This normalization implies a mature or rapidly maturing EV market, signaling significant and sustained growth in electricity demand across regions.
•For developers and IPPs, this trend creates clear opportunities for new generation projects (renewables, storage, firming capacity) and grid modernization to support increased load and charging infrastructure.

•Global plugin vehicle registrations increased by 10% year-over-year in October, with Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) leading growth at +19% YoY, indicating sustained upward pressure on electricity demand.
•The significant rise in BEV sales points to a growing pure electric load, requiring substantial grid infrastructure expansion, new generation capacity, and potential for increased grid services from flexible loads and storage.
•Despite a temporary downturn in the US market, the strong global trend confirms EVs as a major and increasing driver of future electricity consumption, impacting load forecasting, grid planning, and resource adequacy for developers and large power consumers.
