Interesting to take a step back from the usual headlines to see that sales of all cars peaked in 2018. This is a good graph that is simple but conveys a lot.
Yet global fossil fuel consumption remains higher than ever.
Wonder what is making up the gap ? Bicycles? People keeping their old car? Patiently waiting for affordable EV.
They certainly have fallen, however it seems the car manufacturers changed strategy and are trying to sell less cars for more.
Is there any data on total cars on the road?
When can I trust used electric cars? I get worried I’ll buy a 10 year old electric car and have to pay its value to replace the batteries and it’s just not an affordable repair.

And what’s to say it won’t go back up again?
