Electric vehicle sales have surged ahead of the expiration of tax credits for purchases on Tuesday.

Dealerships have seen EV sales rise sharply after they encouraged customers to purchase battery-powered vehicles to take advantage of the credits before they expire. Rho Motion found that EV sales in North America, which includes the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, rose by 6% year-to-date as of last month.
