How this number is made
- Source
- IEA, Global EV Outlook 2026 (20 May 2026)
“In 2025, EV battery deployment reached 1.2 TWh, an increase of almost 30% compared to 2024, and more than 7 times greater than in 2020.”
- Step 01
Take IEA’s figure for 2025: 1.2 TWh.
- Step 02
Convert the unit: gigawatt-hours × 1,000 = megawatt-hours, which gives 1,200,000 megawatt-hours a year.
- Step 03
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 2.28 megawatt-hours per minute.
- Step 04
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.

- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
