Electric car sales in Turkey
Our World in Data's bar chart drew 11.7K views on X: 0.4x its typical post and #133 of 139 Our World in Data charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
Electric car sales are growing rapidly in Turkey.
Why it spread
This post spread because it explains itself and rode a hot topic that week, reaching 11,665 views with 181 likes, 46 reposts, 2 quotes and 29 saves.
What worked
- The post text explains itself by turning the change into a simple everyday story: one new car out of every 100 sales was electric in 2022, and by 2025 more than one in five new cars were electric.
- The chart is a bar chart that shows electric car sales share in Turkey rising sharply, with high self labelling and a source line, so readers could grasp the trend without extra context.
- It came from a branded account in the top quarter of source reach and landed on a hot topic that week, which helped a modest but real wave of 46 reposts and 29 saves.
What to borrow
We could use the same form with our own data by pairing a plain bar chart with a one line before and after framing, such as one in every hundred becoming more than one in five, and by keeping the chart clearly labelled with its source.
Careful
Do not over read the small engagement: 2 quotes is in the bottom quarter of quote rate, and the post has no comment or points data, so the spread looks driven by the topic and the self explaining framing rather than by debate.
