I don't have anything handy or really detailed.   But when looking at the DLT stats for RY1, 2, and 3 vehicle categories for Jan 2024 (2567) (see snapshot 1)  total vehicle registrations (i.e., ICE, EV, Hybrid, etc) in those three categories totaled 81,098.   And when looking at the same registration data but for Jan 2025 (2568) the total is 68,009 which is approx 16% lower than Jan 2024.   Vehicle registrations for January of this year is worst than same time last year....an ongoing vehicles sales (and financing) slump.

 

 

Snapshot 1: Jan 2024 registrations

 

Snapshot 2: Jan 2025 registrations

 

So it does appear EV market share is increasing (cue: Vinny)

 Type 1: Private passenger cars with no more than 7 seats (R.Y.1) are cars that must be no wider than 2.50 meters and no longer than 12 meters, such as single-cab sedans, double-cab sedans, double-cab vans with two seats and a cargo area at the back, etc.

Type 2: Private passenger cars with more than 7 seats (R.Y.2) are cars that must be no wider than 2.50 meters, no longer than 12 meters, and the length of the body measured from the center of the rear axle to the rear of the car must not exceed 2/3 of the length measured from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle, such as a three-section sedan with two rows of seats, a two-section two-row van with three rows of seats, etc.

Addiing R,Y.3 to the mix is adding commercial vehicles
