>It's not the 1000 EVs out of the 100k vehicles that matter, but rather the 10k hybrid vehicles out of that same 100k pool, which literally produce double the MPG compared to ICE cars.

It seems like hybrid sales are pretty comparable to EV sales in the U.S., at least according to this source anyway.

These metrics are most likely skewed - California has a significant number of EVs in a sample of every 100 cars, but in other states EVs are almost nowhere to be found.


Seems in line with the data here as well:

...I would think this data is from vehicle registration data, and not sampled from owner surveys (or the like).
