Global EV sales hit third consecutive record high

Source: Reuters via Yahoo News

Global sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles rose for a seventh consecutive month in November, jumping 32% year on year for a third consecutive record high, data from market research firm Rho Motion showed on Friday.

China continued to lead sales growth, accounting for almost 70% of total EV sales in the month, while registrations in Europe showed a marginal decline.

The electric car market is undergoing critical transformation as incremental demand and production in China threaten EV markets elsewhere. Europe, for instance, is struggling to contend with production costs, new emissions targets and the rising competition.

Automakers in Europe and America say growing trade tensions, CO2 rules and the removal of incentives in some countries affect prices and put thousands of jobs on the line.

I thought the market for EV’s was collapsing- I read that right here on DU in several OP’s.

When it comes to cars, bad design can lead to some particularly bad consequences. Poorly designed cars are bad for your body parts, bad for your life span, and bad for your wallet. There’s a single car that has already won that bad design trifecta, and you can probably guess which one we’re talking about. The Tesla Cybertruck
