In October, global registrations of plug-in electric cars once again amounted to nearly 1.3 million units, marginally behind the September record.<\/p>\n
According to EV-Volumes<\/em> data, shared by researcher Jose Pontes, 1,279,000 new passenger plug-in electric cars were registered globally in October (37% more than a year ago), which is only about 12,000 less than in September.<\/p>\n The share of rechargeable cars out of the total global car registrations stands at 17%, including 12% for all-electric cars and 5% for plug-in hybrids.<\/p>\n Especially positive is the solid growth rate of 33% year-over-year for all-electric cars, although plug-in hybrids noted an even higher increase of 46% year-over-year.<\/p>\n There is a very big chance that in November or December, we might see more than 1.4 million new plug-in electric car registrations, so stay tuned for more records.<\/p>\n Plug-in car registrations for the month:<\/p>\n * estimated from the market share<\/p>\n\n
