How the numbers were computed
For the story Electric cars among new cars in the EU.
Every number in the story is a Eurostat value or is computed from Eurostat values. Each value is named by dataset, Eurostat key and period. Each request is kept as received.
Where a chart shows values to two decimals, at one decimal some different values would look equal.
