Keep There are obviously more types of vehicle than cars -- there are cycles, trucks, buses, &c. This probably should become a list of lists but organising that is not a matter for AfD per WP:NOTCLEANUP. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:07, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't think BYD's electric busses count as an electric car, and as such they would certainly be ineligible for inclusion in the page you linked. BrxBrx(talk)^{(please reply with {{SUBST:re|BrxBrx}})} 17:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article has pictures. If you want to merge or split content, then discuss that properly, but don't destroy the superior article. Dream Focus 00:35, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve if possible. Raymond3023 (talk) 15:48, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I think the list made sense in the early adoption of plug-in electric cars, back then there were fewer models, now it will be very hard to keep up since the number of models available is growing fast, and the list lacks most of the Chinese models (reliable sources cite over 200 models), and few editors are working to keep it updated. Regarding a possible merge, this list covers both battery electric vehicles (all-electric) and plug-in hybrids, a merge with the former would miss PHEVs. In that case, makes more sense to merge the list of BEVs here. Perhaps the best option would be to simplify the list using as a model List of automobile sales by model or List of best-selling automobiles to keep the list of plug-ins shorter and manageable.--Mariordo (talk) 05:51, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
