The objective of this study is to examine on a macro basis whether social-economic factors have an impact on the sale of electric vehicles. Therefore, the sales figures of electric vehicles in 12 countries between 2012-2015 and the per capita income of these countries, population intensity, education level, urbanization rates, oil prices, electric vehicle market share and renewable energy production variables have been used. The study with the Unbalanced Panel Data Analysis found that the sales of electric vehicles have a significant impact on the country’s level of education, urbanization, renewable energy production and oil prices from a statistical point of view. It has also been determined that the variable that has a high level of impact on the sales of electric vehicles from statistically meaningful variables is a urbanization variable.

Therefore, electric vehicle sales figures of 12 countries between 2012 and 2015 and the per capita income, population density, education level, urbanization rates, oil prices, electric vehicle market share and renewable energy production variables were used. As a result of the work done with Unbalanced Panel Data Analysis, it has been determined that sales of electric vehicles significantly impact the educational level of the country, urbanization, renewable energy production and oil prices. Moreover, it was determined that the variable out of statistically significant variables is the urbanization which has the highest impact level impact on electric vehicle sales.
