They make sense for urban travel and the newer ones even for long trips, but never forget, they run on GASOLINE. This is the fundamental mistake you have made, you bundle them in with EV's, just like the mass media does to hide the fact that EV sales were not that strong.
What are you on about now? I have always clearly labeled the source of the sales: BEV, plugin, or hybrid. And contrary to your claim, most sources don't even include plugless hybrids in EV data, only plugin hybrids. So you are just arguing with yourself here.

"The lie" huh? I wonder if you can appreciate the irony of you posting lies post after post and then accusing others of lying. I doubt it.

Lucky lucky lucky. You really should not be getting your "stats" from tabloids that post headlines like "Woman, 63, ‘becomes PREGNANT in the mouth’ with baby squid after eating calamari". I know you
really want to prove your call of 'Peak EV', but using tabloids like the Daily Mail for 'stats' is really not a very smart thing to do.
The Daily Mail tends to publish stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded wordings such as “Woman, 63, ‘becomes PREGNANT in the mouth’ with baby squid after eating calamari”, which is a misleading headline. In 2017, Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as an ‘unreliable’ source. When it comes to sourcing information, they use minimal hyperlinked sourcing and sourcing to themselves.
Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY
Daily Mail – Bias and CredibilityThere should be a thing like negative credibility. I mean British journalism doesn't have much, but the Daily Mail is really quite bad. It does not just do sloppy and tendentious journalism like the rest. It actively spreads misinformation, hate and insecurity.

Daily Mail credibility? On a 10 scale, somewhere between 0 and 1 much of the time.
Long ago, I gave DM a thorough read over several days, perhaps several weeks. Using my Restaurant Protocol (visit many, remember the best, always seek new experiences), the Daily Mail earned a place deep in my trash pile as a tabloid hell bent on sensationalism via fact manipulation and outright false content.

If you’re looking for balanced, and above all accurate, news reporting, then you really need to look elsewhere. The Mail is a sort of comic for intellectually challenged, under-educated bigoted types, who like nothing more than to use it to boost their confirmation bias. Apart from that it’s a publication for airheads who want to read about the Kardashians and Megan and Harry until they puke. So in summary, not reliable at all other than for the above nonsense they print on a daily basis.

How credible is theDaily Mail?
Absolutely zero!!! Horrible rag.

How credible is theDaily Mail?
It’s not terribly credible. It is over-the-top sensationalistic and given to wild exaggerations on topics as diverse as crime and politics. It is entertaining, in a classic Fleet Street kind of way, but there are many better sources for someone looking for a straightforward account of what’s going on in the world.
How credible is the Daily Mail?Now if you had spent even 30 seconds looking for a legitimate source, you would very quickly find that the 'stats' posted in the Daily Mail are false:
Nov 14, 2023 (Reuters) - Electric-vehicle sales are seeing continued strength globally with China reporting record monthly sales in October despite the end of subsidies. EV sales in China, the world's largest auto market, increased 29% year-to-date in September. The global EV market showed 34% growth in the same period.
EV sales grew 26% in European markets. EV sales in North America were up 78% so far this year.
Global EV sales stay strong, China hits record despite end of subsidies
The oil barrel is half-full.
