39% of cars sold in November had a plug.
It seems the German automotive market has bottomed out and is back on a growth path. November brought a surprising 31% increase in sales. Though, that’s still not enough to pull the year-to-date numbers out of the red . Much of this growth can be attributed to plugins — sales of full electric vehicles grew 44% year over year . There were 57,588 BEV registrations last month, a new record, which also incidentally represented 22% of the overall market. On the other hand, plugin hybrids jumped 61%.
Also, a surprise of some sort is the fact that the Tesla Model Y, 4th in the plugin market, was also 7th in the overall market. That meant there were four plugin models in the overall top 10.On the top half of the table, there were three more record performances, with the Dacia Spring reaching #9 thanks to 2,035 registrations, the stylish Opel Mokka EV getting 2,031 registrations, and the sporty Cupra Born making it to 7th with a record 2,089 registrations.
Stellantis also kicked production up a notch. Besides the aforementioned record result of the Opel Mokka EV, Opel also celebrated the 943 registrations of the small Corsa EV, while the compact Astra PHEV and crossover Grandland PHEVs also had record performances. Along with the German brand’s good results, Stellantis was helped by the year-best score of the French Peugeot e-208 EV and record result of Jeep’s Compass PHEV .
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 profited from a record month to rise two positions, to #10, thus making it two Hyundais in the top 10. The only other brands placing two models in the top half of the table were Tesla and Volkswagen.

Hunting for Neighboring Open Clusters with Gaia DR3: 101 New Open Clusters within 500 pcWe systematically searched for open clusters in the solar neighborhood within 500 pc using pyUPMASK and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms based on {\it Gaia} DR3. Taking into consideration that the physical size for most open clusters is less than 50 pc, we adopted a slicing approach for different distance shells and identified 324 neighboring open clusters, including 223 reported open clusters and 101 newly discovered open clusters (named as OCSN, Open Cluster of Solar Neighborhood). Our discovery has increased the number of open clusters in the solar neighborhood by about 45\%. In this work, larger spatial extents and more member stars were attained for our cluster sample. We provided the member stars and the membership probabilities through the pyUPMASK algorithm for each cluster and derived their astrophysical, age, and structural parameters.
