18days at 5 cars per day is 90 cars. I personally saw at least 35 cars under the building late last year. The figure quoted for 2014 is wrong. They delivered 10 cars on the launch night.
We should at least overtake the Leaf this year. The i3 will climb too, I saw one yesterday, much sexier and smaller that it looks in photos
I reckon it would be pretty close though as 10 on launch and a few more on the 29th but then others had to wait until the new year to take delivery. Remember those figures are for 2014 and there were really only a couple of weeks to deliver cars before the end of year.
That's pretty impressive for the Outlander! Especially considering it only really went on sale around April/May. Definitely my choice from that list after the Model S.
I think the Model S should do pretty well this year as the public get to know it exists and due to the efforts of enthusiastic owners! :biggrin:
Speaking as someone who has bought an Outlander, for 2 reasons - price and availability at the time, I am impressed with those figures too... The best thing though, is that there are more types of cars available to consumers, and as a whole the EV market is getting bigger and better!
Yes, slowly but surely, it's starting to take off. Maybe we'll start getting some other options in AU soon? Merc B class electric drive and VW e-golf would be a great start.
How are you enjoying the PHEV? I test drove one on the weekend, and enjoyed the drive comfort, but was a little disappointed with the quality inside (for a $55k car). Although it wasn't bad or anything. A glass pano roof would make it feel very premium i think, as it's available in the normal range.
Also, was I missing something really obvious when i drove it.. I couldn't find any way to set it to EV only, for a short drive where you know you're between powerpoints, this seems like a no brainer to me? All I could find was eco mode, which seems to just make the ICE kick in with a bit more right foot.

I like to think of PHEV's as electric vehicles with training wheels and credit to Mitsubishi for bringing one to EV unfriendly Australia. The more people who experience electric motoring the more they will come to realise the superiority of an electric motor over an ICE. I do hope Mitsubishi and its dealers are more committed to plugin vehicles than Holden GM as my one experience of a Volt test drive was not good and then there the Volt's price. Fortunately now that the Outlander PHEV has been on sale since March 2014 it seems to be doing Much better than the Volt.
