• Europe EV registrations rose 31% to about 530,000 units, a record for June
• BMI says Europe remains the main engine of EV growth
• China registrations fell 11% to around 1 million vehicles
• North America registrations fell 13% following the end of U.S. EV tax credits
• Chinese automakers continue expanding overseas amid weaker domestic demand
