My guess - and I hasten to add it is no more than a guess - would be that, in the USA, in 2015, EVs probably accounted for about a half of one percent of the cars on the road there.
To be fair to the article however, it does then go on to make the comparison measured by miles driven which, on the face of it, still puts the EV in a more favourable light. That is, until you consider the fact that you can't do that many miles in your EV, because, as we learnt from the article, you can realistically only use 60% of your charge, and you won't even have a full charge anyway when you set off in the morning, because you didn't want to stay up all night on firewatch!
In your ICE vehicle, you can use your full tank of gas, and then you can refill in five minutes and keep driving - so of course, ICE vehicles do lots more miles.
