Only BNEF and OPEC provide annual data points for EV fleet size. Some data points for BP, ExxonMobil, OPEC and the IEA are estimated based on organization charts,
reports and data. BNEF, BP and OPEC forecasts include just BEVs and PHEVs. ExxonMobil and IEA forecasts include BEVs, PHEVs and fuel cell vehicles. For more on the
changes between BNEF’s 2016 and 2017 long-term EV forecasts, see our July 6, 2017 Research Note “Global EV Sales Outlook to 2040” (web | terminal).
