There's some interesting data in this report. Note that hybrids are included with BEVs in some sections, like total sales of EVs.

Hardly. The cars all shut down in winter and they sit around in their homes collecting govt checks.

One has to wonder how long before AI and robots make this the norm here.

Looks like it's not just Europe. South America is adopting EVs too.

Electric vehicle sales are booming in South America — without Tesla

When Peruvian green energy entrepreneur Luis Zwiebach wanted to buy an electric vehicle in 2019, he flew 4,000 miles to California to test drive Tesla’s Model 3 sedan. But Tesla lacked an official importer and he couldn’t find a way around Peru’s complex vehicle import procedures.

Frustrating sets of stats and percentages. I honed in on the number of new BEV registrations per 100k population figure by country.

If we assume the % BEV new car sales in the US is 10% in 2025, that works out to 490 BEV sales per 100k population. Compared to EU, this puts us in the same range as Germany and the UK.

I think this implies that in the US we buy a lot more cars per capita than EU folks.

that’s probably true. What does fossil fuel consumption per capita look like US vs other developed nation?
