    China was likely excluded because it was tied for 6th place at the time this graph was written (By the IEA percentages now, china is only at 53% while sweden is at 61% - it is a somewhat misleading statistic), and this is a list of the top 6 european. And as to the “the US doesn’t have EVs” meme (sigh):

    Retail sales of the battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models qualifying for the incentive fell 26.6% and 13.9% year over year, respectively. Even with those declines, electrified vehicles, including BEVs, PHEVs and hybrids (HEVs), accounted for 26.9% of U.S. retail sales in the second quarter of 2026, according to Urban Science’s daily new-vehicle sales data through June 30, 2026.

    If you’re interested (it is very boring I confess), this article has a great breakdown on the US car market from the start of this year.

        It’s like the same Lemmy bot that does all the pro China stuff just got launched for anti-China. Wild times.

        In what way is this anti-china? I even clarify that the statistic is potentially misleading by putting china below sweden in the source report. The OP list simply excludes china because china isn’t in europe.

        Nice alt.

        Of… who, exactly?

        Lemmy bot

        I would be willing to bet that out of all lemmy users you can encounter in the wild, I have provided by far the most evidence of my humanity.
