Diesel: 999,715 – 34.80%
Electric: 754,303 – 26.26%

So it’s really 61% vs 26%.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Yep. This is especially annoying when you consider that a 26 % share is newsworthy in itself. However, the real headline should be the fact that 94.2 % of all cars registered in august (in Norway) were fully battery electric!

I wonder where did authors got the title from? Even if you add hybrids and whatnot, you won't get over 50%. 🫣

That's electric Vs pure gasoline only. Technically true, and it shows BEV are progressing in terms of share of cars on the road, but this is a very specific milestone that is only useful for click-baiting.

Ah, ok, they left diesel cars out of the comparison. Then title makes sense. Thanks.
