U.S. EV (and other models of EV interest) sales for September, courtesy of Automotive News. Now including hybrids! (Sorry, dedicated nameplates only): Let's all welcome the Ford C-Max to the chart! Chevrolet Volt - 2851 Nissan Leaf - 984 Mitsubishi i - 36 Honda FCX Clarity - 0 Mercedes-Benz F-Cell - 0 Honda Insight - 246 Honda CR-Z - 335 Lexus CT200h - 1195 Toyota Prius - 18,932 Ford C-Max - 969 Year-to-date: Chevrolet Volt - 16,348 Nissan Leaf - 5212 Mitsubishi i - 439 Honda FCX Clarity - 3 Mercedes-Benz F-Cell - 7 Honda Insight - 5047 Honda CR-Z - 3461 Lexus CT200h - 13,612 Toyota Prius - 183,340 Ford C-Max - 969 Tesla, Fisker, Wheego and Coda do not report sales figures.
They have been cutting the price more to get the last of the 2012s out the door. 2012 Nissan Leaf Lease Now $219 A Month, Incentives Increase
Unfortunately for the purpose of AN's sales charts, Ford does not break down the plug-in v. regular hybrid C-Max. But here in the States, those are the only versions we get. So it qualifies for my chart.
The C-MAX Energi is not selling yet. Last rumor I heard was that they were to hit dealer lots this month. So the 969 is only the hybrid version. Pretty good start for them regardless, though! Edit: I do see that cars.com has at least 1 Energi in stock that appears to be an actual car, so perhaps they are rolling out now?
Actual PiP number could be used - there were 1,652 of them sold in September in states. September Plug-In Electric Car Sales Surge, As Tesla Sells 200 (Or So)
Very interesting. Does anybody know what GreenCarReports uses as their source(s) for the plug-in variants sales figures, as quoted in the article linked? As noted Automotive News' data are sometimes limited in that regard.
Norwegian EV sales hits 5.2% of total car sales! Looks like a dedicated EV park & charge spot with multiple SAE DC QC, CHAdeMO, J17772 and/or Mennekes plugs. Check the video to get an idea: Ishavsveien presents the worlds first universal charging station for EVs on Vimeo.
Great to see one in the wild. And a Zoe there too. Nice of them all to speak English for us too :biggrin:
I was reading Wikipedia where sales of PiP were mentioned. They provided Wall Street Journal and Green Car Reports as their sources. I guess if you full time auto journalist, you know lots of people from major automakers. And one could call or email them directly, I mean after all that is a job of PR people too... So it do not have to be only something that was published by company in press release and such. Lots of time journalists could get more insights or additional details. But this is my guess.
