Tesla Leads Global Electric Mobility Ranking; BYD Loses Points for Efficiency and European Manufacturers Fall in Overall Ranking

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has released a report evaluating the performance of 21 major manufacturers in the advancement of electric mobility in 2024. The study considered data from six major markets: China, Europe, the United States, India, Japan, and South Korea. The ranking takes into account criteria such as energy efficiency, vehicle range, zero-emission targets, and variety of models available.

Among the highlights, Tesla ranked first, even though the Chinese company BYD surpassed the American firm in sales volume.

Tesla in First, BYD in Second

Tesla achieved the maximum score of 100 points. BYD scored 75 points and lost positions due to lower efficiency and range of its vehicles, according to the ICCT.

Honda and GM Show Advancements

Among traditional manufacturers, some stood out positively. Honda launched the Prologue, its first electric model in the United States, with good energy efficiency results.

Nissan has revised its goal so that 40% of its global sales are zero-emission vehicles by 2030.

General Motors also performed well in the evaluation, although the report did not detail the brand’s score.

Challenges in the Sector

Despite advancements, the ICCT points out that the electric mobility sector still faces significant hurdles.

Key challenges include strong competition among manufacturers, the price war in China, and declining investments.

These factors could negatively impact the pace of the transition to electric vehicles globally, according to the agency.

Sales on the Rise

In another survey, consultancy Rho Motion indicated that global electric vehicle sales continued to grow in 2025.

This trend reinforces the central role of electrification in the future of the automotive industry.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

A giant golden ball in the middle of gardens in India was assembled with 1,415 discs, took decades to be completed, and transforms sunlight into controlled central lighting.

Three teenagers surprise the world by creating a powder with tamarind seeds that removes microplastics from water, requires no electricity, and wins an international prize of $12,500 at The Earth Prize 2026.

India completes tests of Project Kusha, its own long-range air defense shield to shoot down aircraft and missiles hundreds of kilometers away.

The largest neighborhoods in each state of Brazil are astonishing in size: Campo Grande leads with 352,000 inhabitants, Cidade Industrial exceeds 172,000, and Jorge Teixeira dominates the North.

China prepares a “panoramic Hubble” with 2.5 billion pixels and a field of view 300 times larger: Xuntian will have a 2-meter mirror, resolution close to that of the American telescope, can dock at the Tiangong space station for maintenance, and promises to map 40% of the sky in a decade.
