Energized Posted May 5, 2016 at 09:45 PM Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 at 09:45 PM Even in the remaining months of the first generation FFE, new sales records are being made. For April, FFE sales are up 73%. For the first quarter, sales are up 59%. The FFE sold better than the Leaf (1,331 vs 787) even though the Leaf has a new version with greater range. For the year FFE is outselling the Leaf. Since the 2017s FFEs aren't out yet, I would expect FFE sales to drop off for the next coupe of months, but who knows.

Energized Posted May 5, 2016 at 10:54 PM Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 at 10:54 PM Interesting. The only two EVs to sell more more than 1000 units during the month were both PHEVs. The highest BEV was only 850 units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least to the segment of the population that wants to see as many BEV's as possible being deployed as quickly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla builds on a timetable based on different regions of the planet. US sales will be up into the thousands again by the end of the quarter.

meyersnole Posted May 7, 2016 at 02:03 AM Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 at 02:03 AM Also looking at 2015, the first quarter is just less sales than the rest of the year. Probably waiting for the new model year to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energized Posted May 7, 2016 at 10:41 PM Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 at 10:41 PM The Leaf just continues to tank in sales, down 50%. I imagine Nissan thought the new bigger battery/more range was going to pull Leaf sales out of the doldrums, but things have only gotten worse for the Leaf.

Energized Posted June 2, 2016 at 07:30 PM Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 at 07:30 PM Another huge month for the Fusion Energi with 1,453 units sold. That's up 47% over last year even though the overall auto market was down in May, especially for sedans. The BEVs had yet another bad month. LEAF was down 53% to only 979 units. Model S had another month with a huge decline, down 50% to 1,200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
