      looks like they picked the model y so they could say tesla is at the top of the list.

      • Total BEV registrations increase by 25% while Tesla’s volumes fall by 44%
      • Renault Group is the February’s top performer with a 12% increase in volumes (total sales of +106,000 cars) while Volkswagen remains top in terms of total sales (+249,000 cars sold, that’s +1% year-on-year)
      • The best-selling Chinese-owned car brands were Volvo, BYD and Polestar. While Volvo recorded a 30% drop in BEV registrations, BYD and Polestar showed increases of 94% and 84%, respectively, with sales numbers in the single-digit thousands
