So this article came out of the UK. Not much if any North American data but that really is ok because when it comes Europe and Asia North America is far behind in all aspects of the EV . The article is long but I give it a two thumbs up - it looks at facts and variables in those facts and makes some very points and observations. For example, China sold almost half of the global sales of EV's in 2016. Globally we had around 750,000 electric cars sold and China sold about 336,000 of them. China has approximately 660,000 electric cars on the road right now but in fact it is not the leading in deploying ev's successfully into the market - Norway is. Almost one third of all cars sold in Norway last year were EV's. Remember these are the same bunch who run ferries on batteries they ain't joking when it comes down to this type of technology and adapting the country for it. What if any impact this will have on the North American car manufacturers I don't know but I do know North America is not found beside Europe in studies like this because we are all so hooray hooray for tiny adjustments and improvements when it comes to getting our vehicles electrified.
