Global EV sales up 35% in October

GLOBAL sales of fully electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles rose 35 percent in October from the same month last year, with growth across all regions led by a 54-percent jump in sales in China, market research firm Rho Motion said on Wednesday.

European sales rose just 0.8 percent but were up in annual terms for the second straight month, and the research firm expects a good end to the year in the region, data manager Charles Lester told Reuters.
