On a global scale, why wouldn't it be reliable? China has the biggest EV boom and over 10% of the global population. It's not unreasonable that a global tally skews results to the Chinese or Indian market.

Is a tired 1st gen Leaf an "EV with limited EV functionality" if the battery only has 50 miles of range now? Where do you draw the line?

If it has a combustion engine, it's obviously not an EV. It's only partially an EV, and that part varies dramatically.
The Nissan leaf is clearly 100% EV, even if that 100% doesn't take you very far.
I draw the line at 100%

Meaning there are 3 categories:
EV
Hybrid
ICE

From a categorization standpoint, sure. I guess what I was trying to get at was I'll happily take a PHEV sale over yet another ICE

Absolutely, for me personally I bet I could find a PHEV that would be able to work 90% on battery for my daily drive.
