July ​10 (Reuters) - ​Global demand for electric vehicles rose for ‌a fourth straight month in ⁠June, driven by strong growth in ‌Europe as sales ‌weakened in China and North America, data from consultancy Benchmark ​Mineral Intelligence showed on Friday.

Registrations of battery-electric and plug-in ⁠hybrid vehicles climbed 7% from a year ​earlier to 2 million in June, while first-half volumes ​were up 2%.

• ‌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
