I knew Tesla was #1 in the US, it didn't quite register how much ahead it was

Sales of passenger electric vehicles in the U.S.
In the first quarter of 2023

Tesla 161,630
GM 20,670
Hyundai/Kia 14,703
Volkswagen 14,196
Ford 10,866

I was wondering globally also and Tesla is #1 in BEV (fully electric) by far but comes in #2 behind a Chinese company that is BEV + PHEV (plug-in hybrid).

EV-Volumes - The Electric Vehicle World Sales Database

So the existential battle for Tesla is whether BEV or PHEV will win out in the next 5-10 years.
