TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. To try to boost demand, the government has expanded incentives to encourage drivers to trade in their older, gas and diesel-fueled cars and buy EVs. While overall car sales have remained lackluster, sales of EVs rose nearly 30% in July from the year before.

VERBATIM: The decline occurred, although exports jumped about 20% from a year earlier as makers of electric vehicles expanded into global markets. The China Passenger Car Association said sales of passenger cars totaled about 2 million units, with 1.6 million sold inside China. About half of the vehicles sold were so-called “new energy vehicles,” or electrics and plug-in hybrids.
