It's EV News briefly for Friday 9th of August everything EV in less than five minutes if you

haven't got time for the full podcast. Less than 20 minutes today for the full show. It wasn't the

how you finance an EV, but also very good for second-hand and third-hand buyers. How reliable is the

information that we get about EV charging stations, well, new research says not very,

26% of the time it's wrong. That's either whether the charger is currently being used,

the uptime, whether it's actually working at the minute, and things like that. It was a record

breaking month in June. Now the data's come in globally, and it's surging.

EVs 1.5 million of them sold in the month of June.

And the numbers are incredible.

22% of global passenger cars had a plug on the side.

And yeah, that's mostly China.

14% pure VEV.

Still amazing.

Let's look at China, and not June but July last month the numbers are in.
