your first paragraph makes no sense. yes the eu includes more countries than the uk. it's a connected market.
these stats are by polestar and rivian, as it says in the thing. if you have better sources, give them to me.
check my followup post.
The UK isn't even in the EU, and different countries certainly have different energy mixes anyway.
I literally quoted your own sources! I followed the links and I read them. Didn't you? I quoted them back to you. What a weird comment.
there's a huge mass of cables connecting the uk to the eu. energy you use is never "from" a single source, it's from wherever it's generated, which means it's from the eu grid. i don't even know why the uk is in this conversation?
i did. i used the actual numbers presented by the sources though, rather than the predictions.
