Well yeah but the point of the article title was to make it look like EVs are booming even though it’s barely putting a dent even with the government putting unreasonably strict emissions on manufacturers and throwing money at buyers in the form of rebates.
If EV sales were booming, Subaru wouldn’t offer 0.0% financing on their EV only. One dealer had -$13000 off the Soltera. Not to mention tax credits to push them off the lot.
There has been sooooooo much misreporting and misdiscussion because of people accounting the types and categories differently. For example, does “electric vehicles” and “electrification” include or exclude electric hybridization? Includes, of course. I see, now, why people started using the HEV / PHEV / BEV nomenclature.
Not really, in the US excluding a few trucks we basically only have full hybrids and other than Honda they’re basically all using the same Toyota/Paice technology.
isn’t hybrid a big broad? mild-hybrid, hybrid and plug-in hybrid?

I mean EV sales are up 50% YoY. It’s not like you won’t be able to find gas cars next year, but they are growing quickly.
