Electric cars as a share of the car fleet vs Oil demand displaced by electric vehicles

Electric cars as a share of the car fleet (multi-month) and Oil demand displaced by electric vehicles (annual) worldwide. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Electric cars as a share of the car fleet is published as multi-month figures and oil demand displaced by electric vehicles as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, clipped to 2024–2025, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: electric cars as a share of the car fleet is multi-month and oil demand displaced by electric vehicles is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
