Top : Schematics of ignition by (a) a spark plug and (b), (c) a laser. (c) Bottom : Schlieren photographs for early stage of ignition in a constant-volume chamber ignited by (a) spark plug and (b) micro-laser in a stoichiometric mixture. Spark plugs can ignite leaner fuel mixtures, but only by increasing spark energy.

This, they suggest, could be because national EV markets were so small relative to overall automobile sales. Until then, EV-specific factors such as amount of charging infrastructure, level of consumer financial incentives, and number of locations that sell the automobiles are likely to be more correct for estimating a country’s market share.
