Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Electric car use by country varies worldwide, as the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles is affected by consumer demand, market prices and government incentives. Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are generally divided into all-electric or battery electric vehicles (BEVs), that run only on batteries, and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), that combine battery power with internal combustion engines. 
The popularity of electric vehicles has been expanding rapidly due to government subsidies, their increased range and lower battery costs, and environmental sensitivity. 
However, the stock of plug-in electric cars represented just about 1 out of every 300 motor vehicles on the world's roads by September 2018.Global cumulative sales of highway-legal light-duty plug-in vehicles reached 2 million units at the end of 2016, 3 million in November 2017, and the 4 million milestone in September 2018.
Sales of light-duty plug-ins achieved a 1.3% market share of new car sales in 2017, up from 0.86% in 2016, and 0.62% in 2015. 
The global ratio between battery BEVs and PHEVs was 66:34 in 2017, up from 61:39 in 2016, and 59:41 in 2015.As of  September 2018, China had the largest stock of highway legal light-duty plug-ins with almost 2 million domestically built passenger cars. 
China also dominates in plug-in electric bus deployment, with its stock reaching 343,500 units in 2016 out of global stock of about 345,000 vehicles. 
More than one million light-duty passenger plug-ins had been registered in Europe through June 2018, with Norway as the leading market with almost 275,000 units. 
Norway had the highest market penetration per capita in the world in 2016, and 10% of all passenger cars on Norwegian roads were plug-ins by the end of October 2018.
Norway also has the world's largest plug-in segment market share of new car sales, 39.2% in 2017. 
As of  September 2018, the United States had one million plug-in cars, with California accounting for approximately 48% of cumulative US plug-in sales at almost 428,000 units as of  June 2018.
