Method & notes
IN BRIEF

The EV ranking isolates registrations explicitly labelled electric in JPJ transaction data.

METHOD & LIMITATIONS

How the numbers were calculated

PulseKita streams JPJ annual car-registration transaction files and aggregates each registration by calendar year. Rankings are derived from the exact maker/model/fuel/colour fields published in the source.

  • Registration transactions are not the same as vehicle sales. State refers to registration office/partner, not number-plate origin.
  • The latest calendar year can be partial.
  • Source labels are normalized only for display; counts are not estimated.
