Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are no longer one market. A Chinese kei car, a European fleet van and an American pickup now sit on different chemistries, different charging architectures and different economics, and the gap between them is widening rather than closing.

Figures are traced to primary sources, range claims are converted between CLTC, WLTP and EPA before they are compared, and a manufacturer number stays a claim until something independent corroborates it.
