Both matter. PHEV sales will increase dramatically in the next decade.
But yes, PHEV vehicles don’t count as “Electric Vehicle Sales”. The press release doesn’t call them that, and I’ve tweaked the thread title slightly for clarity.

Even still, the fact that the hybrid can be had for the same price as the comparably powered non-hybrid suggests it is likely subsidized by the gasoline range and thus less profitable.
JorgenM didn’t mention the RWD 530i - not sure if it’s available in Norway, but presumably if it were or is, it would narrow the gap further.
