Ignore "How to Lie with Statistics" by Darrell Huff at your own risk
The post: Electric Car Drivers.
Really?
Handle with care. Those neat little bars and line don't really say that. At least in the way you would interpret that.
What the neat little bars and line really say is "licensed drivers who have driven an electric car in the past 12 months".
For the record, more than 300,000 EVs were sold in Q1 of 2025, representing about 7.5% of all new vehicles sold. See the data here.
The Book: 1954 and still as valid
Darrell Huff wrote his seminal "How to Lie with Statistics" in 1954. I discovered it in 1974 when I went into the University of Madrid. I kept the book in my nightstand.
The book is amazingly well written, in plain simple style designed to let everyone understand at their own level.
You can buy it used in a wide range of resellers and I suggest you do. I suggest you read it. And I suggest you apply the thinking every time you see something where you say "uh?"
And, yes, I used it. Obviously.
