RESEARCH & INTELLIGENCE
A small, curated source library. Verified observations are separated from supplier descriptions and our own planning interpretations. Reviewed 12 November 2026.
IEA / HISTORICAL DATA
The IEA reports more than 20 million electric car sales in 2025. Its definition includes battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars.
This measures new sales, not the proportion of vehicles already on the road. It also says little about a specific city’s charging access or public transport needs.
Our interpretation: vehicle adoption, charging provision and transport access need to be considered together. A global sales figure is not a local investment case.
Read the original IEA analysisSUPPLIER EVIDENCE / SIEMENS
Siemens describes passenger software spanning reservations, ticketing and demand-responsive transport, alongside its wider rail digitalisation portfolio. [S3, S4]
Our interpretation: discoverability and interoperability matter, but implementation still requires data access, service agreements and local validation.
SUPPLIER EVIDENCE / VERRA & KAPSCH
Verra describes fleet administration and road safety technology. Kapsch lists tolling, traffic management and connected-vehicle systems. These are distinct capabilities. [S5, S8]
Our interpretation: a useful discovery platform should help a buyer identify the problem before selecting a solution.
PUBLIC SOURCE LEDGER
Pages may change. Undated sources show the review date rather than an invented publication date. Directory entries imply no commercial relationship.
Annual analysis of vehicles, charging, batteries and policy. Historical evidence and projections are distinguished.
Electric car sales exceeded 20 million in 2025; 25% of new car sales. Electric cars include BEV and PHEV. This is sales share, not total fleet share.
Describes intermodal planning, booking, reservations and demand-responsive transport. Supplier descriptions are not independently measured outcomes.
Documents a software-defined rail ecosystem, open interfaces and operational applications. No supplier performance percentage is used here.
Describes safety, fleet, toll and registration solutions. Listed as an industry example only.
Lists tolling, traffic management and connected-vehicle capabilities. These are supplier statements.
