Global EV sales hit new record in November – Rho Motion

Global sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) rose 20% versus a year ago as strong growth in North America and China offset lower sales in Europe, according to market research firm Rho Motion. Sales of BEVs and PHEVs hit a fresh monthly record of 1.4 million units, up from 1.1 million in November 2022. "Sales have continued to rise despite a lot of negative sentiment in the market and we're expecting sales to remain strong in December," data manager Charles Lester told Reuters.
