Production rate is still nowhere near the demand, and wait times are discouraging. So electric pickup trucks are now a reality. Not that it’s easy to buy one: all models currently available in the U.S. — all three of them — have really long backlogs of orders. …

36% market share — BEVs are 25.4%, PHEVs are 10.5% — according to data from the government agency RVO. The bestsellers are SUVs made in Czechia, China and Belgium. November was a good month for plug-in electric vehicles in the world’s largest car market (China) and also in Europe’s largest…

Apparently it helps that all-electric Volvos, coming from a Belgian factory, are no longer supply constrained. At least not in Sweden. In November 2022, all-electric vehicles (BEVs) were 42% of the total market, PHEVs were 22%, plug-in vehicles overall reached 65%. …

The Tata Nexon EV crossover was selling remarkably well in H1 2022. In India, the market share of all-electrics (BEVs) among passenger vehicles is low. In the first half of the year, it was roughly 1%. But the overwhelming majority of those sales are scored by just one brand: Tata…

The market share of plug-in vehicles reached 24.2%. BEVs were 15.9%, PHEVs were 8.2%. Among passenger vehicles, all-electrics outsold diesels last month.
