Although renewable energy saw record investment in 2022, electrified transport is growing at a faster rate. Passenger EVs account for the bulk of the transport dollars invested but by no means all of that sector’s capital flow last year. BNEF tracks six other sectors in the energy transition, and all but one of them also set annual investment records last year.
