That makes some sense, but still 40,000 is not a lot if you count private homes with electric car. It almost has to mean that substantially less than 40k electric cars are sold since not many people are buying them without a charger at home?

I wonder what the per-home number would look like relative to other countries. I'd think it's probably pretty high. Good for them, I say; they're still showing the rest of us that electric cars can work… and that takes a combination of having a good amount of public chargers, and people buying an electric car and owning a charger.
Remember, also, that it's still the dawn of the electric vehicle.
