Well, more power to Vinny41 if he can figure out from DLT stats how so many EV registrations occurred for August because when I look at the DLT stats from their webpage I only see above half of the August numbers being stated in the news article above.   

The only numbers for August that Both the nation article and DLT match are

RY3 trucks 233

RY8 three wheeled cycles 39

all the other figures don't match

 

RY1 figures for August were  6,211

 

If all electric vehicles including motorbikes are added DLT report  total comes to 8,804

I have noticed autolife and a number of other media outlets are now using a new acronym

XEV which is combined 

Electric vehicle xEV is the generic name for electromotive vehicles such as a hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles

Basically anything that has an electric motor

using DLT stats combined XEV comes to 19,801 for August

Well, I figured out how they got 17,980.   When looking at the DLT stats for August they used the R.Y.1 category but instead of only reflecting  R.Y.1 BEV Electric (100% electric) they also added-in R.Y.1 "Plug-in/Hybrid EV categories of Gasoline-Electric, Diesel-Electric, Plug-in Gasoline-Electric, and Plug-in Diesel Electric. 

 

See the subtotals below, partial snapshot of the DLT spreadsheet, and how those four above mentioned  PHEV/HEV categories added to the Electric BEV category summed to 17,980.   

 

Basically the article is talking BEV "and Hybrids."  Pretty much mixing apples & oranges in terms of comparing January-July BEV numbers which only reflected BEV numbers with August BEV+Hybrid numbers.  

 

 

 

Partial quote from article:

 

 

 

Subtotals of DLT data "R.Y.1" category used to get 17,980

Electric BEV :    6,211

Gasoline-Electric:  10,915

Diesel-Electric:  2

Plug-in Gasoline-Electric: 845

Plug-in Diesel-Electric 7

------------------------------------------------

Total of Above :  17,980

Nice car but the first thing I would do is to remove that ridiculous front grille with "Riddara" to the one in the lower picture with a straight grille and also no "Radar" letters on the hood
