The Middle East crisis is leading countries to review their energy policies, investment priorities & strategies to improve energy security

And a key factor in these critical decisions now and in the months & years to come will be trust

@IEA China now accounts for over 1/3 of global public investment in energy R&D, and its share of corporate R&D spending in energy-related sectors has risen above 40% of the global total

But the United States remains the global hub for venture capital deals to scale energy innovations

Electric car sales rose to new records in nearly 100 countries in 2025 – and close to 30% of all cars sold globally this year are set to be electric

Battery price declines & policy responses to the current energy crisis can add to EVs' momentum

A combination of market factors, policies & innovation are supporting the uptake of EVs globally

Recent declines in battery prices have helped make electric cars more affordable, while higher-voltage batteries are paving the way for faster charging
