Where are the missing 55%? And only 27.32% went for an ICE?? Something doesn't add up.
Does this take into account how the market for used cars looks like? It seems like there would be tons of more ICE cars than electric varieties, since they've been even more popular in the past.
Edit: At least the EU is stepping up https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/eu-october-car-sales-up-146-ev-sales-jump-more-than-36-2023-11-21/
Almost 50% of new passenger car registrations Jan-Oct were fullt electric or hybrid.
"Where are the missing 55%?"
Diesel? Stat specifically says gas combustion. But that doesn't make ANY sense unless they ran the poll somewhere outside the US.
Oho... I think I have it figured out...
Follow the logic:
"Among those who purchased a car or truck in the last 12 months..."
3.71% - New Electric
27.32% - Gas Combustion
13.53% - New Hybrid
So of the people buying a car or truck in the past 12 months, 44.56% bought NEW vehicles. The remaining 55.44% bought USED.
The failing is excluding the word "new" from the gas purchases while it's included in the other two.
Then they relay the used statistics.
41.91% - Used ICE
9.02% - Used Hybrid
4.51% - Used Electric
55.44%
Aaah, nice catch! I also thought of diesel first, but came to the same conclusion as you.
