It’s fun with numbers.

If you sold 1 EV last year and 2 this year, that’s a 100% increase.................

Agree...This percentage game is a joke.

The stat I just read said that 6.5% of all registered cars are EVs.

Wonder how many are government fleets.

That is exactly what it is and it’s BS. Last year all of the media ran with “EV are surging”. In actuality they went from 4% to 6%. So they were able to say there was a 50% increase.

Yes, my old book on statistics tells me that hiding behind huge percentual increases is a very low base.
Doubling of sales, if you sold few originally could be a piece of cake. doubling a million car sales is pretty hard!
