While the year will fall just short of 100,000 plug-in vehicles sold in America, the second half growth of the industry is undeniable europe rail travel as nearly 40% more cars were sold between July and December a trend we hope continues into 2014.
A few Cadillac ELRs found their way into customer s hands for Christmas, but how much demand will there be for the $75,000 plug-in?  And how many sales did GM lose on the Chevrolet Volt in 2013,  as production of the best selling EV in US history was stunted over the past 4 months?
NOTE:  This sales list is published in REAL TIME, starting on Friday europe rail travel January 3rd in the early AM with GM s numbers.  The rest of the automakers publish their results throughout the course of the day and these charts will be populated the moment those numbers are available.  So if you don t see your favorite europe rail travel EV s sales list as of yet check back again soon, they are coming.
Below you can find the results for your own favorite europe rail travel plug-in vehicle, plus a look behind the numbers as well. Additionally, waaaaaay down at the bottom of the story is the year-to-date graph of all the EV auto sales by month.
Basically, GM overbuilt 2013 model year stock in the summer, thinking they had enough inventory so they could temper 2014 production as well as also start to build out the Cadillac ELR.  However, a big price reduction in the 2014 edition of the Volt ( down to $34,995 ) made clearance deals on the 2013s very attractive to customers and has put GM in a hold on 2014 inventory they have yet to dig themselves europe rail travel out of.
There is currently just over 2,000 2014 Chevrolet Volts available for sale across the US, well below the historical norms.  We expect this situation to be rectified quickly in January and February unfortunately demand for plug-ins is historically europe rail travel very week in the first quarter of a new fiscal year.
That uncanny consistency however was built out of Nissan s limited production abilities europe rail travel at their assembly facility in Smyrna, TN due to battery supply issues.  Something that started to go away in December.
According to the company, all that is now behind them ( thankfully ) and we will finally see what the demand is the LEAF starting in January as Nissan says the LEAF is now being pumped out around the clock  with more batteries in hand.  Nissan decided last May to bump production from just under 2,000 units per month up to 2,700 not exactly the quickest of ramp ups.
2013 model year inventory europe rail travel did increase to almost 3,500 units in December before the plant was idled over Christmas, but it will not be going any higher as the first dozen or so 2014 editions finally showed up just before the calendar flipped over.
Truth be told, we didn t expect to see the Cadillac europe rail travel ELR show up at dealerships until January of 2014, yet there it was being loaded up in front its Hamtramck Michigan Assembly plant on December europe rail travel 17th.  (That story and video can be found here )
How many of the 37 mile extended europe rail travel range Cadillac ELRs will be made, and how many will be sold in 2014? With a starting price tag of $75,995 europe rail travel  ( and from $89,500 in limited edition Sax Fifth Avenue trim ) probably not a heck of a lot.
Tesla Model S: Tesla does not give out exact monthly sales… so we never know for sure what the numbers are until their quarterly updates. Tesla's Q3 financials confirmed the first 9 months sales at a level of about 15,500 units, with just over 14,000 sold domestically.
As this is a list of US sales, we are now forced to shift away from tracking strictly production and deliveries for the company overall as they are delivering throughout Europe so no one freak out when US sales don t match total production from here on out.
However, that is NOT the estimated sales range December as Tesla buyers are NOTHING like buyers of other EVs.  Simply put, the $7,500 is largely europe rail travel in play for Model S purchases (which are just that purchases, not leases). europe rail travel Also, as it is the end of the year, the amount of deliveries scheduled by Tesla in the US is way up, despite more than 1,000 international sales this month.  ( Tesla sold 553 in Norway alone in the first 23 days of December )
The Panamera S E-Hybrid has a combined 416 hp output (333 hp electric) europe rail travel and can get north of 60 mph in about 5 seconds, with a top speed of 167 mph. Pricing starts at $99,000.  Also of interest, the S E-Hybrid is currently available at all Porsche dealers nationwide a rare thing these days.
However, no one should read anything into the monthly number europe rail travel at least if they are trying to get a handle on Spark EV demand, as GM basically sets their own monthly sales number by curtailing inventory.  GM could sell a lot more if they wanted to.
In October, europe rail travel InsideEVs learned exclusively europe rail travel direct from Chevy that the company has no plans to make the car available europe rail travel outside of California and Oregon so at least for now, we can call this car a compliance play meaning GM will ship and sell the number it deems necessary until further notice.  As for international sales of the Spark EV, the exit of the Chevrolet brand in Europe means that plans to sell the all electric europe rail travel Chevy in 2014 have also been scrapped .
but we started the year with them on the list, so we will end with them on the list and re-promise to not mention them at all in 2014 on the sales charts.   It appears that about 6 new Fisker s were registered as sold in the United States in December, europe rail travel leaving less than 30 new 2012 model year Karma s still looking for owners.
europe rail travel Even still we did get a fairly accurate early re ad on the initial early adopter demand in during company s first couple months of sales thanks to a fairly serious half shaft breakage issue and a voluntary safety europe rail travel recall.
As for the car itself, europe rail travel the 500e s 24 kWh lithium battery has been rated by the EPA to produce 87 miles of all electric range, and MPGe efficiency in the city is pegged at 122, and 108 on the highway, for a combined 116 MPGe figure.
So why is the Fit EV America s most in demand car? Well, Honda has found the holy grail when it comes to selling a limited number of compliance vehicles. europe rail travel Lease them out cheap ($259/month including partial insurance with nothing down) and give customer unlimited mileage on those leases. ( all the details here )
With a hot seller on their hands and Tesla ZEV credits in their back-pocket and now more than half of the planned production now sold for the US on the Fit EV (1,100), we had doubted new inventory in depth would ever come from Honda now we can confirm it, as Honda has made a statement on the situation .
The Fit EV is available europe rail travel on a limited basis, with continued production of about 40 vehicles per month . Vehicles are allocated regionally and distributed based on demand from dealership-maintained wait lists.
In September 137 copies of the smart ED was also sold. In fact the last three month have well beat smart s early expectations of selling about 60 per month until the vehicle was available nationally.
The USA-wide rollout has been hampered by some unforeseen worldwide demand that has lead to a 9 month backlog from parent Daimler in October. The company has said that battery cell availability issues are now under control know and they can indeed satisfy ongoing demand.
At the end of December there was about 250  EDs in the 9 states it is currently available europe rail travel (CA, CT, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, OR, RI), although it should be noted that if you want the ED in a Cabrio (convertible), you are currently out of luck, as apparently production out of France has been focused on just churning out whatever they can make the fastest namely coupes. Less than 10 convertible smart Electric Drives are current in stock the same as last month .
The smart ED is the first plug-in for America to be offered with a battery rental option, which brings the cost of the Smart ED down to $19,990, but adds a $80 month battery rental europe rail travel payment, as well as includes a wider (and longer) battery warranty. Check out all the specs, options and pricing here .
The Fusion Energi basically offers the same package as the C-Max Energi, but in a larger sedan package. The third plug-in to be offered from Ford has just been rated by the EPA at a combined europe rail travel 100 MPGe (92 MPGe highway, europe rail travel 108 MPGs city), and has an all-electric range of 21
But realistically speaking, to go much higher that current levels something needs to be about the MSRP. At $32,950 as we feel it is just too close to the Chevrolet Volt, especially after GM lower the price of its 38 mile, extended range car by $5,000 in August the only problem for Ford (and EV fanatics) is that the C-Max hybrid is selling so well that Ford is likely hesitant to close the gap between it and the plug-in Energi version.
The Focus EV is really the oak tree of plug-in sales reporting, sure and steady; always one hundred and something sales results you could almost set your watch to it. Previously in September, 110 all-electric Fords were sold.
Taking November into account, 13 out of the last 14 months have seen triple digit sales starting with a 1 .although Ford does now seem determined to correct the trend of 100ish sold per month, as Ford slashed 2014 model year pricing by $4,000 down to $35,200 .
On November europe rail travel 21st, the NHTSA issued an official recall of 2,456 Focus Electrics due to a dangerous Stop Safely Now issue, europe rail travel that could see the all-electric Ford lose power even when in motion ( that story here ). As this has been a long recall in the making, hopefully putting this problem in the rear view mirror will help sales going forward.
To bump 2nd half sales Toyota has taken a page out of Honda s playbook europe rail travel on their compliance vehicle and is now offering the RAV4 EV lease with something europe rail travel the mainstream players can t unlimited mileage leases .
In the short term, it seems to seriously be working however, Toyota has had some serious ups and downs selling the electric SUV, so we are going to say that Toyota still its work cut out for them trying to sell 2,600 of these over the next year and a half.
