Quarterly zero-emission vehicle adoption intelligence for Canada and the 13 provinces/territories (Statistics Canada table 20-10-0025-01, new motor vehicle registrations by fuel type): ZEV/BEV/PHEV/hybrid/gasoline registration counts and shares, YoY and QoQ momentum, gap to the federal 20%-by-2026 ZEV sales target, and a documented 0-100 ZEV-adoption score ranked per quarter (a1 leader .. a4 nascent). Trailing 24 complete quarters. Statistics Canada Open Licence (commercial reuse allowed); source: Statistics Canada.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| geo_name | string | English geography name (Canada + 13 provinces/territories). |
| geo_code | string | StatCan 2-letter geography code (CAN for Canada). |
| country_code | string | ISO alpha-3 country code (CAN for all rows). |
| quarter | string | Reference quarter, first day of the quarter (ISO date). |
| as_of | string | Last complete quarter in the snapshot (pinned for idempotent re-runs). |
| total_regs | integer | New motor vehicle registrations, all fuel types. (unit: vehicles) |
| zev_regs | integer | New zero-emission vehicle registrations (battery electric + plug-in hybrid electric). (unit: vehicles) |
| bev_regs | integer | New battery-electric vehicle registrations. (unit: vehicles) |
| phev_regs | integer | New plug-in hybrid electric vehicle registrations. (unit: vehicles) |
| hybrid_regs | integer | New hybrid-electric (non-plug-in) vehicle registrations. (unit: vehicles) |
| gasoline_regs | integer | New gasoline-powered vehicle registrations. (unit: vehicles) |
| diesel_regs | integer | New diesel-powered vehicle registrations. (unit: vehicles) |
| other_regs | integer | New registrations of other fuel types. (unit: vehicles) |
| zev_share_pct | float | ZEV registrations as a share of total registrations. (unit: percent) |
| bev_share_pct | float | BEV registrations as a share of total registrations. (unit: percent) |
| hybrid_share_pct | float | Hybrid registrations as a share of total registrations. (unit: percent) |
| gasoline_share_pct | float | Gasoline registrations as a share of total registrations. (unit: percent) |
| yoy_pct_total | float | Year-over-year percent change of total registrations. (unit: percent) |
| yoy_pct_zev | float | Year-over-year percent change of ZEV registrations. (unit: percent) |
| qoy_pct_zev | float | Quarter-over-quarter percent change of ZEV registrations (not seasonally adjusted; vehicle registrations are strongly seasonal — prefer the YoY column for momentum). (unit: percent) |
| share_pp_yoy | float | Change in ZEV share vs the same quarter last year. (unit: percentage points) |
| gap_to_2026_target_pp | float | 20.0 minus zev_share_pct: the gap in percentage points to Canada's federal Electric Vehicle Availability Standard 2026 milestone of 20% ZEV sales. Negative = target met. (unit: percentage points) |
| adoption_score | string | 0-100 ZEV-adoption score: 100*(0.60*min-max ZEV share + 0.40*min-max YoY ZEV growth winsorized at +/-200%), each min-max normalized across geographies within the quarter; 50 when degenerate. Null when either component is unavailable for that geography-quarter. (unit: score) |
| adoption_rank | string | Per-quarter adoption rank across geographies (1 = highest score); deterministic tie-breaks on ZEV share then geography name. Null when the score is null. |
| adoption_tier | string | a1 leader (>=70) / a2 gaining (>=45) / a3 trailing (>=20) / a4 nascent (<20); null when the score is null. |
| record_high_8q | boolean | True when ZEV registrations are the trailing-8-quarter maximum. |
| bev_dominant | boolean | True when BEV registrations exceed PHEV registrations. |
| row_hash | string | SHA-256 (truncated) of the row's content fields. |
| source_retrieved | string | Source data vintage: latest reference quarter present in the retrieved vectors (content-pinned so identical re-fetches hash identically). |
First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
