# Electric car sales deck

> A slide deck inside a page: 16:9 slides that scale as one, scroll-snap navigation with buttons, arrow keys and full screen, on IEA electric car sales.

A five-slide briefing that lives inside a docs page. Each slide is a 16:9 box whose type is sized in container units, so the whole slide scales as one, the way a presentation does, from a phone to a projector. Swipe or scroll between slides, use the buttons or the arrow keys once the deck has focus, or press `F` for full screen. A link to [#evd-3](#evd-3) opens on the third slide.

Millions of cars. Rest of world is the world total minus the three markets.

## How it's built

- **Slides** are `<section>`s in a flex row with `scroll-snap-type: x mandatory`; each is a size container, and every font size is in `cqw`, so a slide keeps its proportions at any width.
- **Charts** are SVG with a fixed `viewBox`, drawn once from the data and scaled with the slide, so a chart and its type always grow together.
- **Navigation** is about thirty lines: the buttons and arrow keys scroll the track, and an `IntersectionObserver` keeps the counter and the dots in step with swipes. `requestFullscreen()` turns the stage into a projector view.
