What the source says
BloombergNEF's (BNEF) annual Electric Vehicle Outlook (EVO) expects over a quarter (27%) of cars sold globally in 2026 to be electric – up from 9% five years ago – and over half (52%) of all passenger vehicles to be electric by 2035.
Checked: the figure 27%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
