I think one thing that gets overlooked is that EVs are mostly newer cars, and newer cars tend to drive much more than older ones.
So, the interesting statistic to have, would be what percentage of kilometers driven are electric. This should be obtainable from mandatory technical inspection records.

In the Netherlands taxes on oil force people to buy electric cars. But our energy infrastructure cannot handle all the electric vehicles. So we’re screwed either way.

Electrification is inevitable. This trend will only continue.
