In May, US plug-in electric vehicle sales hit the 100,000 marker, with an Alabama Mitsubishi i owner purchasing the 100,000 plug-in electric vehicle (more or less). Just about 6 months later, US plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales have passed the 150,000 marker, according to Plug In America’s PEV sales counter. No word on who bought the 150,000th PEV or what the model was — maybe we should check with Plug In America.

And, as anyone who has driven an electric vehicle knows, electric vehicles are totally freakin’ awesome — much nicer to drive than gasmobiles. So, we should see growth really start to skyrocket as more and more people become aware of the vehicles.
At the moment, though, we’re already seeing about 361% year-over-year sales growth of 100% electric vehicles and 34% year-over-year sales growth of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the US. Not too shabby, eh?
