  1. Is this sales in, or out from these regions? Seems somewhat unclear in that regard. Nice graphic though

    It looks like the sales in US has been steady. Am I reading that right?

    China is the outlier.

    Why are sales consistently higher in q4 previous year than q1 next year?

  4. I do appreciate how this shows clearly the meaning of YoY and also shows the importance of using YoY due to clear seasonal patterns

    When cheap chinese EVs make it to western markets it’s over for modern car culture.

  6. Taking a percentage of a percentage is a great way to manipulate the impression your data makes

    Going from 0.3% to 0.4% is indeed a growth of ~33%, but a fractional increase in hard numbers

  7. Is the figure for Europe specifically European Union? If so, then I think it should be labeled as European Union. If not, then I think unfortunately there’s not a convenient flag to use since there’s not a clean delineation of what is or is not included.

    Was curious, global passenger car sales are 78M/year. So EVs now make up about 20% or more? That seems quite good. Wish we could spike sales in the US like we’re seeing in China.

    Maybe allowing cheap EVs might be a better choice than trying to kneecap the only other plausible super power. Not saying we need to be best friends, but a detente to save the global climate might be warranted.
