CAAM says wholesales of such vehicles totaled nearly 496,000 units through the first seven months of 2018. The trade group has predicted that full-year volume will grow 29% to more than 1 million units this year.
Deliveries to dealers of plug-in cars more than doubled to about 24,000 units last month. Shipments of pure-electric vehicles climbed 34% to some 60,000 cars.
