I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Electric car use by country's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Deliveries2012":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:31, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
I would like to propose a title change from Electric car use by country to Plug-in electric vehicle use by country because the article does not just encompass all-electric cars. It encompasses all forms of plug-in electric vehicle, including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and neighborhood electric vehicles. Thank you.--Gg53000 (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Since the EV technology and market are rapidly changing, this article requires frequent updating, clean-up, and reorganization. For example, the section (e-car use in China) requires major reorganization to improve its readability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qx2020 (talk • contribs) 12:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Data for 2020 is dripping in and the changes as compared to 2019 are astonishing, especially in Europe, where the EV market share roughly tripled YoY 2019-2020. I am reluctant to edit the page directly, hope this will help someone else to do the update:
- EU-EVS site [1] has tons of statistics on Germany (~194 K BEVs in 2020), Norway (~80k), the Netherlands (~73k), Sweden (~28k), Switzerland (~20k), Spain (~18k), Denmark (~7k), Ireland (~4k) and Finland (~3k). Monthly sales, quarterly, yearly, market share per model, brand and automotive group, you name it. Not sure which of this is interesting for Wikipedia, but market share per group [2] and yearly sales per brand[3] are IMO quite interesting.
- German Y2020 statistics was published by KBA.[4] In short: Germany is a biggest EV market in Europe now, with 394,940 plug-ins registered 2020, which is 13.5% of the German car market. 194,163 BEVs. Volkswagen took over the market, with VW brand alone capturing 17,4 of the plug-ins and 23.8% of the BEV market. Tesla, with just 4,2% of the plug-ins and 8.6% BEVs fell into "also run" category. VW group took 33.3% of the plug-in market[5], followed by Renault/Nissan, and Hyundai/Kia.
-In Norway, the BEVs were over 50% of the car sales for the whole year[6]. VW group was even more dominant here than in Germany, with Audi e-tron being the best selling EV and 3 out of the top 5 best selling models being from VW group. Some stats are available at electrek:[7] BEVs: 76,800 (up 27%, at 54.3% market share), PHEVs: 28,904 (up 50%, at 20.4% market share), Total: 105,704 (up 33%, at 74.8% market share). Plug-in shares per automotive group[8]: VW 34.37%, Hyundai/Kia 13.13%, Renault/Nissan 11.68%.
- Some data for the Netherlands was published on ev-sales,[9] but EU-EVs statistics is far more complete for all of the above listed states. Plug-in shares per automotive group[10]: VW 32.93%, Hyundai/Kia 21.26%, Tesla 12.2%.
- For UK, detailed EV sales data is difficult to get, but [11] provides some interesting information: 108,205 BEVs (6.6% market share), 66,877 PHEV (4.1%), Tesla model 3 –est selling car overall in December, and VW ID.3 on the fourth place.
- For France, some data is available in cleantechnica:[12] 185,500 plug-ins (BEV+PHEV) registered in 2020, up over 3× from 61,500 sales in 2019. Here, the local producers Renault and PSA are also the market leaders.

If anyone ever tries to delete this article, please move it over to Wikiversity, Wikipedia's sister project. While I'm fine with this article being in Wikipedia, the encyclopedia, some might construe this article as being original research, which would be fine over at Wikiversity. Thanks for reading.

I've been working on cleaning up this big mess of an article and trimming it down (lots more cruft still to trim in the individual country sections :Þ ). One of the things that greatly helped with clarity was converting the long (prose) infodump in the intro into neat bulleted lists. Yet this seems to have earned it a "prose" tag, as if the user want the lists to go away. I do not think that would be helpful to the flow of this article, but what do others think?
This article is challenging because the status changes so quickly. People need to be more diligent about cleaning out bits of old history, particularly concerning projects involving small numbers of vehicles that have now been dwarfed, or projects that ultimately went nowhere.
Also, we simply can't afford to have, for each country, paragraph after paragraph like "In 2011, the top selling EV in X country was A, with A# sales, followed by B, with B# sales, C with C# sales ... Z with Z# sales. This represented a market penetration of A% for A, B% for B, .... Z% for Z. In 2012, the top selling EV.... .... In 2017 ....". The goal needs to only capture key moments in countries' EV history and major trends over time, while leaving out the bit players and ultimately insignificant events.

Yes, that was me. I
My basic approach was that this is a summary article for comparison purposes. I squeezed out most of the history and detail. Several spin-off articles already exist. More can be added, but this article shouldn't grow much from here, except to add more countries. Replacing older data with new stuff is always welcome, but please dump the old stuff when you obsolete it. As is adding data to make the smaller countries more comparable with the larger ones. Remember that EVs are taking over the world. This field will change rapidly down the road. We don't need to go back to 20k words to reflect that. As always with my edits, I volunteer to correct any mistakes that you identify and feedback is strongly encouraged. Cheers! Lfstevens (talk) 08:32, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
This is to invite regular editors of this page to participate in the ongoing discussion at the talk page of the electric car article regarding Wikipedia policy about pricing info included in several articles dealing with plug-in electric cars. You are welcome to express your view. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 13:48, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello. My concern is that the repeated references to specific brands is not in the interests of making this a neutral and balanced article, especially since much of it relates to one company in particular. The focus of this article is the take-up of electric cars in each country, not the individual models. This content could be appropriate in the articles for the products/brands themselves, but in the context of "Electric car use by country", it comes across as WP:promo. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 07:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
In the History section, there is a table of milestones and associated dates. Many the entries seem arbitrary, and so a criteria for inclusion in this list should be defined. These criteria should be objective—to ensure this list remains neutral—avoiding bias or favoritism. Hadron137 (talk) 18:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
Creating a talk page section for this proposal - the Denmark portion of the page should be split into its own article, as it has enough content. Wgullyn (talk) 22:12, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Reference 215 has been changed.
This article was amended on 1 February 2022. An earlier version, based on information supplied by the Electric Vehicle Council and Tesla, said there were 24,078 EVs in total sold last year, including 15,054 Tesla Model 3s, but this included sales for both 2020 and 2021. As a result the proportion of new cars sold that are electric has been amended from 2.39% to 1.95% Pokerash (talk) 17:04, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
This artilce's title is "use by country", but all of the information is about sales, not actual usage. They're probably correlated, but any reader doesn't know how well. Shouldn't the title be "sales by country"? -- Mikeblas (talk) 17:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
This article is about more than sales. Car use is just about 100% correlated with the percentage of electric cars on the road in a given place, and this article includes those statistics as well as statistics on market share. It also includes some facts about some countries' incentives that led to current percentages of use and market share. So, Electric car use is a good descriptor. Perhaps "Electric car use and market share by country" would be better. -- Fotoguru (talk) 02:02, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
I propose the Uruguay portion should be split into its own article, as it has enough content. There is additional information to be added into the article like annual comparisons and policy changes to push for electrification that, if added into this big article, might be to extensive. Lbiderman (talk) 16:00, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
The graph is misleading as Europe is not a country so it shouldn't be number two let alone be on the graph. PaPiker (talk) 13:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
