Fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids are separate categories. Petrol and diesel can also power hybrids; powertrain and fuel are different classifications. Hybrids include mild hybrids, and the line against combustion cars differs between countries, so compare hybrid shares within a country rather than between countries.
