    That 17% are actual EVs, not hybrids, seems like the bigger news. Glad to hear it.

    Of course it does mean that 83% of new car sales are still powered by fossil fuels and the number of them on the roads is still growing.

      What’s your beef with PHEVs? Most people use EV driving on them almost exclusively or at least a majority of the time. So your 83% number is way too high. And battery isn’t practical for 100% of situations (there are no silver bullets). PHEVs are still a huge win. HEVs can go in the garbage though.

        I am one of those crazy extremists you might have heard of who actually believe that it would be a good idea to stop burning fossil fuels.

          That isn’t that extreme, I am one of those crazy extremists who thinks we should get rid of the vast majority of cars while we are changing our transportation system anyway.
