Global plugin vehicle registrations were up 38% in April 2022 compared to April 2021. Despite several disturbing factors happening all at once (the invasion of Ukraine, Covid-19 lockdowns in China, chip and battery shortages, supply chain disruptions …), the truth is that there were 542,000 registrations last month, representing 10.2% share of the overall auto market (7% BEV share). Considering the steep drops in the overall market, and that plugless hybrids were down for the first time since the Covid-19 lockdown months of April and May 2020, that should be considered an amazing result. This poor result from plugless hybrids could mean that this year could be the peak HEV year, with 2023 being the start of downhill sales for this kind of powertrain. We’ll see.
Here's the chart plotted using a log scale
And, looking much more dramatic, are the same data plotted on a linear scale.
