Ford's data is tainted as they call anything that has some
electrification, an electric. So their data has miles driven from hevs,
pih/phevs, and EVs. Since Ford and their dealers are much more
comfortable selling a non-EV, I think it is fair to assume all those
miles are not EV miles (nor even pih driving in electric-only mode).
Automakers' skew their data, media-outlets trash the facts from both
their ineptitude and their ice-bias, and the copycat reporting
media-outlets (ones that read others' copy, and embellish/exaggerate on
it so as to make it 'their' copy), which does their part to totally
confuse the public with misinforming emotional pieces that sell
ad-space.
IMO these data reporting pieces are about as useful as sales or stock
reports.
Usually, I try not to bother with these, but this one looked like
someone tried to make an effort (and it is good to release one of these
every once in while so you-all can see what I usually pass on).
