AFAIK Toyota Yaris doesn't exist as an EV, only Hybrid (and ICE).
Hybrid is not electric, it's not ICE either, that's why it's called Hybrid!
But the Yaris isn't even a proper plugin Hybrid, because it's "self charging" meaning it drives on gasoline that is used to make the electricity to drive. You can't even charge it!!! If you put Gas/Petrol in it to drive, it's not an electric, it's not even a hybrid, it's a gasoline/petrol car!!!
Especially law makers need to get that through their thick heads. And please don't buy the Toyota propaganda.
Self charging needs to be measured as 100% gas/petrol driven cars, because that's what it is.
Nothing here suggests Yaris is electric. It is a list of all the most popular models in Norway (including ICE) with their market shares, and the electric ones (so not Yaris) are over 82%. Yaris would be in the gas-hybrid category of 6%, or in the plug-in hybrid category with another 8%.
Yes, that's already been stated, and I have recognized that.
