I'm surprised the gasoline share is as high as it is, but I guess that depends on market. Here in Europe, diesel is still king as far as I know, gasoline should actually be losing to electric before diesel does since gasoline is better than diesel mostly for short trips and EVs are the absolute best for short trips.

The use of diesel in the EU is in decline since ~2019, while the usage of gasoline is currently rising. But in the EU, we're using more than twice as much diesel as gasoline.

Europe is just a relatively small market compared to China/Asia, and North America anyway.
