Global sales of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles rose 29 percent year on year in April, with stable growth in China and Europe despite trade tensions, while North America recorded the first fall since last September, data showed on May 14.

GDANSK -

European electric vehicle (EV) sales of legacy auto groups that are seeking to sell less polluting models to meet EU carbon dioxide emission targets, outperformed those of Tesla.

Tesla continued to lose market share ahead of a revamp of its popular Model Y, Rho Motion data manager Charles Lester said.

China-based EV makers continued to increase domestic sales of battery EVs while responding to growing demand for plug-in hybrids offshore, he added.
