If you want to analyse the US green car sales for November, you first have to start with the fact that Volkswagen stopped selling its diesel vehicles for a year now. That means that, statistically, demand levels for hybrids, plug-ins and diesels in November could finally be measured on an even playing field for the first time in 2016. But there's more to the story of what was easily this year's most impressive month for green-car sales. Americans bought more than 39,000 green cars in November, marking a 26-percent surge from a year earlier. For comparison purposes, October a...
