Yeah, I keep seeing this a lot that EVs (electric cars) are taking over. Sure, percentages may be up but when you’re starting from zero, anything is a plus. Yep – Treehugger again (abridged):
Between Tesla finally getting Model 3s out, and the new Nissan Leaf hitting forecourts, it seems plug-in cars are moving fast.
- a whopping 26,373 plug-ins delivered. Compare that to 18,542 the year before, and it starts to feel like something big is going on.
- Tesla, for example, may finally be turning a corner on its production hell, and delivered 3,820 Model 3s, 3,375 Model Ss, and 2,825 Model Xs.
- new Nissan Leaf saw 1,500 deliveries in March, compared to just 895 in February. That’s not surprising given these are so fresh off the factory floor, but it will be interesting to see whether sales grow from here—or if they plateau as people wait for longer range options to become available.
- estimated Chrysler Pacifica eHybrid sales have been rising steadily this year from 375 in January, through 450 in February to 480 in March.
I suspect that this is only the beginning. Plug-in car sales have been growing steadily for some time to come, but at some point they will really take off.
Yeah, I’ve been hearing this for the last 10 years. So 19K EVs and they’re taking over the world. Meanwhile, reality show how lame EV sales really are in toto:
Yeah, 19K EVs aren’t even a round-off error with a US market of 12 million sold last month.
