Global electric vehicle sales rise for two consecutive months as tensions in the Middle East boost demand

```htmlAccording to Golden Ten Data on May 14, on the 13th local time, data released by the renowned UK market research institution Benchmark Mineral Intelligence showed that in April this year, global electric vehicle sales increased for the second consecutive month. Factors such as rising oil prices driven by the Middle East situation have led more consumers to switch to electric vehicles. Regionally, Europe and Mexico performed strongly, with electric vehicle registrations in Europe climbing 27% in April, reaching about 400,000 units. In Mexico, electric vehicle sales have grown nearly 50% year-on-year since the beginning of this year. The report pointed out that the recent tensions in the Middle East have put pressure on key international oil transportation routes and kept global oil prices high, prompting more consumers to abandon traditional fuel vehicles in favor of electric vehicles with lower usage costs. In addition, major global car manufacturers continue to accelerate the iteration of electric models, and new energy vehicle purchase policies in multiple countries remain in place, further supporting the ongoing recovery of electric vehicle sales.```
