Global passenger plug-in electric car sales increased in June by 153% year-over-year to about 583,000, which is the new all-time monthly record.

That's also not too far from the over 700,000 hybrids sold in the same timeframe. The total xEV (BEVs, PHEVs, HEVs) market share is already at about 20% globally.

Plug-in market share improved to 8.7%, including:

BEVs: about 407,000 (up 154% year-over-year) and 6.1% share
PHEVs: about 176,500 (up 151% year-over-year) and 2.6% share
Total: 583,507 (up 153% year-over-year) and 8.7% share
