Graphic of the week
2 November 2026 – Electrification rates, meaning the share of final energy use met by electricity, can understate how fast the transition is moving. Electric cars use less than a third of the energy of combustion cars, so each switch also shrinks total energy demand. This week’s graphic follows a fleet of 100 cars. Switching half of them to be electric cuts the fleet’s energy use by more than a third, yet the electrification rate reaches only 21%. In Türkiye, where electricity met 22% of final energy use in 2024, electrifying all 18 million cars would lift the national rate to just 28% due to the fact they would use up substantially less energy.

Essential insights for navigating the electrotech era
Clean electricity
Rapid growth of clean electricity led by cheap solar and wind is replacing fossil fuels in the power sector, and beyond through electrification.
Clean Flexibility
Stronger investment and better planning for electricity grids is crucial to unlock the full benefits of clean power
Electrification
Powering transport, homes and industries with electrotech like EVs and heat pumps is more efficient than fossil alternatives and reduces import dependence.
