100% Electric Vehicle & Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Sales Have Record Month!

• http://cleantechnica.com
 The increases for each of the above (compared to 2012) are quite similar to the increases we saw in July. August was clearly the best month ever for 100% electric sales in the US, as well as PHEV sales. It’s also the best month I’ve seen for conventional hybrid vehicle sales, but I haven’t been tracking those long enough to know if it was indeed the country’s best month ever in that category. Who Are The Big Movers & Shakers?

Not much has changed as regards the leaders in EV and hybrid sales. The Tesla Model S continues to do exceptionally well. The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt also each continue to do very well, both of which broke their monthly sales records. The Volt is now doing a little better than the Leaf in cumulative 2013 sales, but it’s neck and neck. If I’m not mistaken, this is the 4th month in a row that the two have swapped places.

Otherwise, Ford continues to do well with its sales of the Ford C-Max Hybrid and the Ford Fusion Hybrid, as does Toyota with its various Prius offerings (+ other hybrids).
