How this measure is built
- Definition
- Share of new passenger car sales that are electric vehicles.
- Measure
- One slice of Electric vehicle sales ( form: share, segment: car ) . Number of new electric vehicles sold in a given period. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 5 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
