  There's really no need to recycle this misleading headline forever, they're not in short supply.

    Well its sort of true

    The numbers are:

    22.6% electric

    22.5% petrol

    44% hybrid, which of course is both

    But i think the main take away is, electric car sales numbers are going up.

      The typical hybrid is still 100% powered by fossil fuels. The main thing they've done for us is demonstrate the Jevons Paradox.

      electric car sales numbers are going up

      Not necessarily. If this period, more hybrids were sold instead of gas cars over the prior period, it would result in this threshold also being crossed. In addition, less cars over all could be sold.

      To objectively know that more elec were sold you’d have to have the prior month.
