Could you elaborate on the plummeting? I remember that that happened in Denmark, but when I googled now, it seems EV sales started growing again almost at once and are now at about 57% of the market. Do you know some countries where EV sales plummeted and then stayed low?

NZ and Germany comes to mind - both eliminated / cut subsides end of 2023.

In NZ electric car sales went from 19% (of total car sales) in 2023 to ~7% in 2024 https://evdb.nz/ev-stats

In Germany it's quite similar: https://eu-evs.com/brandCharts/TESLA/DE/YoY-Chart

JFYI that NZ graph looks like Denmark at the time: Slow groth, then high EV sales in the final few months of the subsidy, when people know the subsidies were to be discontinued, then very low sales in the first months after the end of the subsidy. I guess we'll see whether the trend resumes in a year or two.

I'd guess the same would happen in Germany, the Germans love taking advantage of a subsidy when it's about to end, but I've no idea whether Tesla's like the general market.
