the argument that makes the most sense to me about why EVs with slightly less than 1% have “only” reduced CO2 by 0.54% is that until recently the available EVs were mainly replacing relatively gas efficient vehicles: hatchbacks, sedans, and small SUVs. The owners of less efficient trucks and large SUVs have not seen EV equivalents to switch to. that is starting to change with the introduction of the Ford F150 Lightning and the upcoming Silverado and other larger EV SUVs. Also the number of PHEV SUVs has increased in the last year or so. As EVs become available to replace vehicles across the range, that impact number should correct and more closely track market penetration.
