With Tesla Model 3 deliveries beginning, July may be the last month for a while in which the growth of green-car sales in the U.S. can be measured with some sense of accuracy and perspective, as all signs point to a spike in year-over-year growth from here on out. And with that in mind, things didn't look great last month. In fact, year-over-year sales of hybrids and plug-in vehicles were down for the first time this year, falling 9.6 percent from a year earlier to about 37,600 units. Plug-in-vehicle sales remained on the positive side of the ledger, though they slowed to a 16 ...
Despite the good promotion and ecstatic headlines about the new Tesla Model 3, the car hasn’t managed yet to become number 1, the green market is still being dominated by its big sister Model S. The Chevy Bolt, with a record sales month, took the #2 spot, inching out my estimate for the Model X. After that, the plug-in hybrid Toyota Prius Prime and Chevy Volt round out the top 5. Despite the addition of some extremely quick competitors on its track, the Nissan LEAF landed a healthy monthly sales total — still well above 1,000 cars a month — to take the #6 spot. Aft...
The U.S. demand for hybrids and plug-ins is again ruled by domestic automakers, plug-in vehicle sales surged about 45% to almost 15,000 units. In addition to Tesla, which continues to boost sales but doesn't publish monthly metrics, Ford and General Motors each performed well in May. Green-car sales for the Blue Oval rose 56 percent from a year earlier to 9,221 vehicles, as Fusion Hybrid sales more than doubled, while Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid sales jumped 77 percent. Up the road, General Motors increased green-car sales by 50 ...
China expects its annual automobile production output to reach 30 million by 2020 and 35 million by 2025. The car sales are expected to rise also, new energy sales might reach 2 million units by 2020. Today China is the world’s largest market for new car sales. Last year 28 million cars were sold in China, and if it’s going to reach those expected 35 million, this amount is gonna be nearly double the 17,5 million units sold in United States last year. The country’s focus on NEVs, a category that includes battery electric cars, plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell cars, wou...
What else interesting happened in the U.S. car industry aside from the Tesla being the leader in the electric car sales, and the big three carmakers revealing low car sales? Well, there are some stats you’ll also like to know from the March US car sales. Firstly we’ll talk about the Nissan Leaf finally beating the Chevrolet Bolt, which was a “WOW” even for us, because we couldn’t predict that a year ago. On the flip side, it’s quite impressive to me that Nissan logged 1,478 sales of the LEAF. With the Bolt here (even if in limited supply) and the...
