November electric car sales decline as customers await the new Leaf

For those who prefer to purchase green cars, the arrival of the Tesla Model 3 and the new-generation Nissan Leaf electric vehicles can't come soon enough. U.S. sales of hybrids and plug-in vehicles last month fell from year-earlier totals, as Tesla customers awaited deliveries of the Model 3, whose 310-mile single-charge range was confirmed by the U.S. EPA last week, while Nissan was preparing to sell the 2018 model-year Leaf. November's domestic electric car sales, which had been up more than 8 percent through October, declined 1.9 percent to almost 39,000 units. Plug-in vehicle sales were up, though by only 3 percent to about 14,000 units.

 

 

Front and center was Nissan, whose new-generation Leaf sales have gotten off to a great start in Europe but whose 2017 Leaf sales all but disappeared, plunging 88 percent from a year earlier to just 175 vehicles. Ford, that had been tracking ahead of 2016 figures all year, also had a rough month, with green-car sales declining 14 percent to 6,301 units, as Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid sales dropped 60 percent and 27 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. Also down was BMW, whose i plug-in sub-brand sales declined 59 percent from a year earlier to just 327 units. Toyota, the world's largest green-car seller, more or less broke even, with sales down almost 1 percent to almost 19,000 units.

 

 

The automaker's four Prius variants collectively saw sales fall 22 percent from a year earlier, while models like the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid had higher sales. Additionally, both Volkswagen and its Audi division saw softer sales of plug-in vehicles — the VW e-Golf's sales declined about 5 percent to 289 units, while the Audi Sportback e-tron's sales fell 90 percent to just 38 units. Faring better was General Motors, whose green-car sales were boosted by nearly 3,000 units of the Chevrolet Bolt EV. Overall, GM's green-car sales jumped 64 percent from a year earlier to about 5,500 units. And Honda more than tripled its sales of the Accord Hybrid year-over-year, an increase of 244 percent.

  • Fire Risk: BMW Recalls 185,000 Cars TODAY
    19 Apr 2019

    The recall expansion covers 3 Series, 5 Series and Z4 models from the 2006 model year. The problem has been traced to irregularities in the manufacturing process that could allow moisture to occur near the PCV valve heater and lead to a short circuit. The PCV valve is an emissions device that keeps pollutants created by an engine from being released into the atmosphere. It also helps keep the engine oil clean and prevents crankcase pressure from building up. BMW warns its customers to stop driving the vehicle if there is smoke coming from the engine, or if the driver smells smoke or plast...
