According to a recent report, there was a notable increase in the sales of plug-in electric vehicles in the US in July 2018. The report is based on the July sales figures for plug-in electric vehicles revealed by automakers as well as some estimates.
The total number of plug-in electric vehicles sold in the US in July 2018 reportedly surged to 29,514 units, as compared to just 15,540 units in July 2017. It is also estimated that 153,666 plug-in electric vehicles have been delivered through the end of July 2018.
