It seems like Chevrolet Bolt EV, Tesla Model 3 and electric vehicles in general face a radically new regulatory and political playing field as a professed climate change skeptic prepares to occupy the White House. Trump's administration has been short on policy specifics. But just two days after the election, automakers' chief lobbying group, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, urged the Trump transition team to revise not only the fuel economy standards, but also the Obama administration's autonomous vehicle standards, on the grounds that they could cost its membe...
Toyota has finally cut its forecast for North American car sales by 60,000 automobiles this year, and it's the first time when it revealed what expectations it has for US's car market. The automaker is convinced that a decline is inevitable. As American consumers shift away from fuel sippers like the Prius Hybrid and toward trucks and sport utility vehicles. Nissan Motor Co., which posted a drop in profit as it gave heftier incentives that buoyed deliveries, said it’s not seeing room for further expansion. The executive vice president of Toyota admitted that the car sa...
Despite many buyers holding out for a coming Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3, US electric car sales are doing great. Based on sales estimates for Tesla models (since Tesla doesn’t break out sales by month or by country), the Model S dropped to #2 and the Model X held onto #3 in the US car market, while the Chevy Volt rose to #1. However, if you look at how close sales of these models are and take into account that Tesla delivered ~3,000 more Model S sedans in the US, it’s hard to know how the top 3 ranking actually plays out. After the top 3, though, there’s a signifi...
From the moment EVs made their debut in U.S. till nowadays, plug-in hybrids have made a long way. Just by seeing the glorious results made by introducing Tesla's Model S to the car market, we can make a conclusion on how much the industry was able to change within 6 years. Nissan just sold its 100,000 Leaf in the US. BMW, too, would have you know that it has been pulling its weight in this grand acceleration of EVs. In fact, the German automaker has also recently hit a major milestone since it first launched battery-powered cars under its i sub-brand. BMW has announced that it has ach...
For the first time modern plug-in electric cars became available in U.S. in December 2010, the times when Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt's first generation became available on the car market. After a short time president Barack Obama set the goal of putting 1 million plug-in cars on U.S. roads by 2015. This goal wasn't reached. In fact, U.S. electric-car sales have only just gotten halfway there. Combined U.S. sales of battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids surpassed 500,000 units as of September, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Specifically, sales since ...
