> EV's now have a non-negligible share of new vehicle sales,

In only a few third world countries.

In Norway, about 90% of new sales are EVs. They aren't a third world country.

The USA was at 14% last year and could hit 18% this year.

that was a typo, I meant first world countries.

So China is first world?

Though I do admit, electric is less compelling where the electric grid is unreliable.

Still not negligible.

Incorrect. Ireland: "In the opening four months of the year, electric cars took a 17% share of new car sales, up from 13% the previous year "

Are you talking about China? I think they're considered a second-world country, as they were somewhat aligned with the USSR.
