Sad to see Europe like this. More and more crazy regulation at the expense of ordinary Europeans.

This article is misleading.

These confusing stats are lifted straight from an equally confusing source reference.

So "EV" here include hybrids. While for most of us EV means pure battery. The sales of pure battery aren't mentioned but a graph on the source indicates it is considerably less than hybrids.

Don’t post this like it’s a choice.
