Mostly full-year 2025. Vietnam EV share uses Ember Jan-Oct 2025 because a single public full-year national EV split is not yet available. Philippines uses the public electrified-vehicle category, which includes hybrids, until full-year BEV/PHEV-only national data is published. Charging-network counts use the latest public 2025 or early-2026 datasets where a full-year 2025 snapshot is not published. Values are rounded for display and verified against public source material on 1 May 2026.
