The list of the most popular models is interesting. Not one of the "legacy car makers" is on the top 20 list:
I'm surprised not a single European, Korean, Japanese or American maker besides Tesla is able to make the top 20 chart?
Tesla has 2 high ranking models on the list, but as far as I can tell, everything else on that list is Chinese!
So I can't help asking myself whether that list is reliable?
Unfortunately, this is another one of those bullshit lists that count Hybrid as electric, which is VERY misleading and a completely false narrative, for the purpose of ICE car makers to get some of those sweet EV benefits.
A hybrid is NOT an electric car, It's an ICE car with limited EV functionality.
Don't forget that this list contains individual models. Traditional car makers have many different models and therefore less sales per car.
If all the volkswagen cars based on the MEB platform would count as one model, it would probably be in the top 3.
Probably not judging from the manufacturer totals
Maybe number 4 or 5 then, but far better than not in the top 20 at all
