This chart is misleading - needs explanation of why sum values is greater than 100%, along with clearer definitions of terms. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.130.199.26 (talk) 19:06, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Norwegian stats needs more explanation. Gasoline and Diesel have no electric motor. Then there are cars like the Toyota Prius which are hybrids without a plug, apparently called "Hybridbiler ikke ladbare" (hybridcars except chargeable ones). It is unfortunate, or simply wrong, to label them HEV, and they don't even have their own line/color in the chart. The plugin-in hybrids "Ladbare hybridbiler" are labelled PHEV, blue. The proper battery EVs are BEV, green. And those two combined, PHEV plus BEV, are called PEV, Plug-In EVs, yellow. Does not make sense in my opinion. It is even more misleading to combine PEV and HEV to a purple line, which equals to "everything except pure combustion engines".

Mario, please remove the aggregates (yellow and purple), and add hybrids. Also, it would be nice to have earlier years, at least 2010, for comparison. Stats are offered back to 2005 it seems. And "Norgewian" needs to be corrected, like the broken link. Matthead (talk) 03:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the catch (Norwegian). The intent is to show when the down trend of ICEs began and combined PEV + HEV shows all electric drive cars together, now way ahead of ICEs. The graph is used to illustrate articles about plug-ins, that is why HEVs alone is not shown (to avoid making the graph even more spaghetti/confusing).

Well, HEV are ICE, as they have no plug, they run on liquid fossil fuel only. PHEV have plug and gas tank, but nobody knows how they are used, like BEV, or like ICE/HEV without getting charged ever. BEV are clearly electric, no compromise. So these three categories would do, no aggregates over 100%. Starting at least at 2010 would help also, as data are said to be available, and full decades are nice to have. --2003:C6:3717:823D:5942:EDBC:EB7C:B7EA 22:34, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
