US EV & PHEV sales surge

After a pause, US EV sales have picked up (and it's  not the Tesla 3, of which Tesla only produced 220 in the 3rd quarter).  What is interesting is that total car and light truck sales were down while EV/PHEV sales rose.  EV/PHEV sales are now 1.4% of total car sales, a new record.  GM's Bolt sales continue to grow fast, the new Nissan Leaf will be out in December/January, and Tesla 3's low production is only temporary (all new car models face hiccups when they are launched.)  So the rise in the EV percentage will continue.
