Edit, guess I was wrong
Most east Asian countries are fairly low down on the list. They have excellent public transport, the world's best high-speed rail networks, and a significant number of road vehicles are already electric.
China has a lot of capita. Most of them dont have cars.
China is mostly building rail to solve its transportation issues, so this is completely unsurprising.
Cope lol
EVs are expected to reach 45% marketshare in 2024 in CN. Also I guess you haven't seen their high speed rail network expand over the last decade (pressuring their car market in general). Then you have a lot of capita. So yes the numbers make sense.
