We saw plugins score another million-plus sales in December, reaching a record 1.34 million units (in a 2.26-million-unit overall market, down a harsh 14% YoY). Last month’s result put plugin vehicles’ market share at 59%, with BEVs reaching 35% … [continued]
Earlier today, I wrote about the 8 electric cars that actually saw their sales increase quarter over quarter in the USA in the highly difficult 4th quarter, as well as the 11 electric cars that saw their 4th quarter sales increase year over year. Much more interesting to me, though, … [continued]
