Automotive industry: Global demand for electric cars falls in September
While Europe recorded a sales record, demand for electric cars in North America and China fell sharply. Overall, global sales fell by two percent.
Global electric car sales fell 2% to 2.15 million vehicles in September, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. This decline follows six consecutive months of growth and brings the year's total to 15.5 million vehicles, still 3% higher than last year. Europe saw strong sales with almost 600,000 electric cars sold, while North America and China experienced declines of 44% and 18% respectively.
China's sales dropped to 1.11 million vehicles, with manufacturers increasingly focusing on exports due to weaker domestic demand.
