It seems like the energy independence is getting stronger in the US car market. The leading company that has brought this modernization into the country is Tesla Motors. There are of course and other companies which had positive impact on the hybrid-cars sales like Chevrolet.
This July can be called a memorable month for green cars thanks to the 48% surge, mostly on Tesla vehicles, but we need to not forget also about Chevy Volt, BMW i3, Ford Fusion Energi and Chevy Spark EV. Other EV models have also felt a powerful sales growth, but even so their volumes are smaller than the ones revealed by these companies. Tesla's deliveries which are based on several statements from Tesla official reports: Model S deliveries remained stable, but Model X deliveries grew a lot at the end of the quarter 2. We don't know the exact percentage of sold production, so we could compare them to the results from Asia, Europe, and Australia, but they must be really higher than expected. There are also some other EV models which got amazing sales results this month comparing to last year's July:
-
Chevy Spark EV +484%
-
Chevy Volt +83%
-
BMW i3 +58%
-
Ford Fusion Energi +57%
Nissan LEAF has lost sales again in July, but it didn't fall that much as the previous month, only 9.5%, which is from 1171 to 1063. We have no idea on how BMW i3 managed to escape the downtrend this time, and surge by 58% but that is great news. Tesla Model S and Chevy Volt are totally leading for now, being followed by Tesla Model X and Ford Fusion Energi both fighting for the third place, Nissan LEAF takes the fifth place. Overall electric car sales climbed to nearly 0.9% of US car sales, including SUV's and pickups.
