Arthur D. Little GEMRIX 2026 Report: The EV TRANSITION is Now an Ecosystem Race, With China Setting the Global Pace24.9.2026 13:15:00 EEST | Press release

Little (ADL)'s 2026 Global Electric Mobility Readiness Index (GEMRIX), which shows where ecosystems are ready and where structural gaps hold EVs back. China and Norway have both passed the point where EVs have achieved parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The most comprehensive study of its kind, the third edition of GEMRIX assesses 31 markets across five dimensions: macro factors, EV market/competition, customer readiness, public charging infrastructure, total cost of ownership and regulation. A score of 100 indicates broad market-readiness parity between EVs and ICE vehicles. The study highlights three global conclusions: A small group has pulled ahead.
