Continuing the trend for the US EV market, Nissan’s EV sales almost completely collapsed in the first quarter year over year. The Nissan LEAF, which should be selling like hotcakes given how much value for money it now offers, achieved only 668 US sales last quarter, down 71.2% from the … [continued]
A couple days ago, I wrote about Kia’s electric vehicle sales dropping more than 50% in December. That wasn’t a great result, but more or less what was expected. The question is more about how much they rebound in 2026. I expected to see similar results from other automakers, but … [continued]
With the US EV tax credit expiring last night, we expected a huge rush in EV sales in the 3rd quarter, and in September specifically. I just wrote about big EV sales growth at Chevrolet and Cadillac. I was expecting to see similar results and perhaps write similar stories about … [continued]
I’ve written updates on used electric car deals a number of times throughout the years. However, I’ve decided I want to do something a little more regular and methodical to track how this market is changing. With growing options, I had to really narrow down the parameters and what I’m … [continued]
The other day someone who is not a Republican told me that electric vehicles cost $187,000. The person also is a progressive Democrat and was implying that fossil fuels are not that bad. The person said you can just get a hybrid. Of course, fossil fuels are the primary contributor … [continued]

Nissan slipped out teaser images of the next-generation Nissan LEAF this week. Shifting into crossover territory, it’s a bit different from what has come before, and I’d guess will be Nissan’s most popular LEAF ever. But aside from the look, something powerful struck me, amping up the news much more … [continued]
This question has come into my head repeatedly today. One of the first pieces of news I saw this morning was Nissan’s news about the new Nissan LEAF, the Nissan Micra EV, an electric INFINITI SUV, an electric adventure-focused SUV from Nissan, a plug-in hybrid Nissan Rogue, and other Nissan … [continued]
The February auto market saw plugin EVs take 96.2% share in Norway, up from 92.1% year on year. BEVs continue to squeeze out other powertrains, though diesels and HEVs are now outperforming PHEVs. Overall auto volume was 8,949 units, an increase of 21% YoY. The best-selling BEV in February was … [continued]
I’ve seen several non-Tesla EV drivers pull up to a V2 Tesla Supercharger station with the expectation to charge, or at least the hope of charging. Some of these people have been in rental cars and really in need of a charge. Unfortunately, non-Tesla EVs can’t charge at V2 Superchargers … [continued]
