The numbers don't add up to 100%, what are they omitting
Plug-in hybrids.
27000 is EV which article puts at 24.9%. 26000 is petrol which would be ~24%. 23600 is diesel which would be ~21.8%. EV plus plug-in hybrid is 36% therefore plug-in hybrid is ~11%.
So total of diesel, petrol, plug-in and EV is ~82%. Are the rest push bikes?
Are there any factory LPG vehicles left for sale? They wouldn't be that much of the market anyway though.
That remaining 18 percent isn't hydrogen that's for sure.
They might be treating conventional hybrids as separate from petrol. But yeah, would be nice to see a clear breakdown.
