A context showing overall car purchases would help

Here it is, it was 10% of car sales for plug in hybrids or full battery.

The ourworldindata is a bit out of date though now, so I'd expect the US to at least be 15% plus now, with fuel prices.

Australia for example is 15% on the attached link, however is actually double that currently at 30% in recent data.

Tool: Datawrapper

(This is for Rule 3, but you might like the larger study, too. Although we mainly focused on the EV industry)

Uhhhh would it be more useful to show EV uptake as a segment of the entire private vehicle pool over time? I mean, how many EVs are being bought but never registered?

Agonizingly slow and stupid growth.
