Definition reconciliation

Passenger/light-commercial BEV/PHEV sales and active stock
Treatment
Null
Reason
No authoritative annual or active-status series located.
121 BRT buses
Treatment
Separate captive heavy fleet
Reason
Concession maintenance and duty cycle are not open passenger-car aftermarket [cetud_brt] [sunubrt_121].
100 electric taxis received in China
Treatment
Pipeline only
Reason
Receipt abroad does not establish customs clearance, registration or operation in Senegal [rts_ev_taxis].

Treatment
Excluded
Reason
HEV/PHEV split not disclosed [rts_hybrid_taxis].
37,000 EVs / 15% by 2030
Treatment
Target-realisation sensitivity only
Reason
Scope/baseline unclear and source is ministry-attributed secondary reporting [policy_2030].
Two announced chargers
Treatment
Diligence leads
Reason
Site, connector count, power, public access and uptime require field verification [cfao_byd].
23 solar-powered BRT stations
Treatment
Passenger stations, not public charging points
Reason
No evidence that each station is vehicle EVSE [cetud_brt].
