How this measure is built
- Definition
- Number of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid electric passenger cars in circulation in the region at the end of the period.
- Measure
- One slice of Vehicle fleet ( form: count, segment: electric car ) . Total number of vehicles registered or in circulation. 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. 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 source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
