YOUR NEXT CAR WILL BE A VOLT:

The electric vehicle network is expanding in both technological advances and new markets, according to representatives from the auto industry and energy community.

During a press call Tuesday, Nissan North America and Bosch Automotive Service Solutions highlighted rising sales for electric cars and 240-volt charging stations.

"We're on a roll," said Brendan Jones, director of EV infrastructure strategy for Nissan. The carmaker had a record Leaf sales month in May, boasting 2,138 registrations - a 319% increase over that same month last year. Jones said June was on pace to be another good month. "We have high expectations."
