. . . Noteworthy is that the share of consumption by all-electric vehicles increased over time and in 2017 stood at 57%, compared to 43% for plug-in hybrids. Five years ago, it was the opposite.

Total electricity consumption by PEV:

  • 2011 – 0.02 TWh
    2012 – 0.11 TWh (up 450%)
    2013 – 0.32 TWh (up 191%)
    2014 – 0.63 TWh (up 97%)
    2015 – 0.97 TWh (up 54%)
    2016 – 1.38 TWh (up 42%)
    2017 – 1.94 TWh (up 41%) . . . .
Presumably the greater share for BEVs is due to their increased average range vs. PHEVs.
