What the source says

Renewables in transport mostly comes from biofuels, and although renewable electricity consumption in road (such as electric cars, two- and- three wheelers, and buses) and rail transport modes increases 65% over the forecast period, this is from a low base.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 65% is directly attested in the quoted passage (Renewables increasingly central to total energy consumption growth).

The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
