I'm not sure where that data comes from. Oil was only around 3% in 2024.

Primary energy compared to electricity as energy. The first adds energy used in driving, chemical industry etc. the second is just the amount of electricity generated.

Presumably it's also counting non-electricity energy generation. Road and rail transport still relies heavily on internal combustion engines.
