Electric Vehicles @slrpnk.net cron @feddit.org Available Battery Electric Vehicle models in Europe per year
Source: EU alternative fuels observatory
Sadly, the axis are not annotated well (at least in this screenshot). Latest data point is 2023, and 2019 is the last year where less than 50 models were available.
And as of this site, the US currently has less than 100 EV models for sale. I'm not sure how accurate this is, though.

Electric Vehicles @slrpnk.net schizoidman @lemm.ee Want Your EV Market to Take Off? Then Let Chinese Carmakers In
there’s a clear factor dividing which countries are seeing faster EV adoption and which are going slower: openness to Chinese carmakers.
Brazil saw EV sales soar more than 500% from 2022 to 2024, Thailand’s EV sales jumped 279% over the same period, and Mexico saw similarly rapid growth. Australia was another standout growth market, with EV sales up 145% in the last two years.
These sales patterns also challenge the idea that EV adoption will be led exclusively by wealthier countries. Thailand now boasts better EV adoption rates than the US, while Brazil has jumped ahead of Japan. Electric vehicles started out as a top-down phenomenon, but they’re quickly shifting to a bottom-up trend.
