Global electric vehicle sales are projected to grow 10% in 2026, reaching 29% of all car sales, according to a new International Energy Agency report. The surge is linked to rising gas prices from a hypothetical conflict in Iran, reversing a Q1 slowdown and causing sales to double in key growth markets like Australia, Brazil, and India.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Electric Vehicles.

◆ The Wire takeaway

High fuel prices are now your biggest sales driver, not your product features. Your customer acquisition cost just fell, so reallocate marketing spend to capture the inbound demand instead of creating it from scratch.
