Sustained $100+ Brent and $4.40 US gasoline are driving a measurable shift to hybrids and EVs: US hybrid sales up 24% YTD, European BEV registrations up 52% in August, and IEA projects EVs at ~30% of global car sales this year. Despite this demand signal, a Bloomberg gauge of 104 EV-linked companies has not rallied, suggesting market skepticism about margins or a crowded trade. The divergence between strong adoption data and weak equity performance is the key uncertainty.
