The real headline seems to just be "Toyota and Honda still don't know how to sell EVs to Americans, have mostly sort of given up for now, and surprisingly aren't being punished in the market for it." > Hybrids are also sort of hurting EVs, aided by competitive pricing that is cannibalizing EV sales. Battery-powered cars and light trucks will account for just nine percent of industry deliveries in the U.S. this year. That’s down from the previous forecast of 12.4 percent. Ah, lies, damned lies, and then statistics. The industry forecast of 12.4% may have been too aggressive (which rectum did that number even come from, by the way? The manufacturers still haven't even committed to 12.4% growth on the supply side, they aren't making EVs that fast), but 9% is still a strong year-over-year growth and a faster growing rate than the hybrids mentioned in the article. The statistic here seems to be that Prius sales aren't shrinking. They aren't growing. They don't seem to be "hurting EVs" they seem to be continuing plain ICE sales. But it's not statistics is an easy math field or anything.
