Can EVs survive without subsidies ?

No Jack, i have never asked specificly about those two months .
You obviously have a reading problem ...not helped by those Tesla filtering goggles
....How far do you want to check back ?
Note the dates..
...check the 2nd half numbers..2019 vs 2018..
..and try to understand what happens in December...every year !

Broadening the scope a little (worldwide) and considering the thread topic,..
..what do we think happened to EV sales in the 2nd half of 2019 ?
Something seems to have suppressed the sales below those of 2018 ....changes to rebates ?

Answering my own question , those figures seem to follow the downturn of the large EV market in China since the (partial) removal of incentives in July 2019
Rumour has it, the Chinese are reconsidering these incentives to boost the industry.
So, it suggests we may well know the answer to the original question of the thread !
....BYD's sales decline (year-over-year) accelerates every month since July 2019, when incentives were partially cut:

July: down 12%
August: down 23%
September: down 48%
October: down 54%
November: down 63%
December: down 71%
January 2020: down 75%
