Limitations
Counts are cars licensed (taxed or tax-exempt) at the end of the quarter, by the keeper's registered address. Battery electric excludes plug-in hybrids and range-extended cars, which are counted under plug-ins. Company-kept cars are shown separately because they are registered where the company is, not where they are driven.
