Tesla Model S: Canada's 2nd-Best-Selling Plug-In Electric Car



Readers of our monthly analysis of the Canadian plug-in electric car market know two things well:

a) the Chevy Volt dominates, with sixteen consecutive months of sales leadership; and

b) Canadian plug-in figures are hard to come by.

Our posts on June plug-in sales in the United States and Canada illustrate this latter point.

Both offer sales figures for the Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius Plug-in and Mitsubishi i-MiEV. And that's where it ends for Canadians.

Meanwhile, their American neighbors--or "neighbours", as we prefer up north--enjoy figures for the Chevy Spark EV, Ford C-Max Energi, Ford Fusion Energi, Ford Focus Electric, Honda Accord PHEV, Honda Fit EV, Smart Electric Drive and Toyota RAV4 -- plus Green Car Reports' guesstimate of monthly Tesla Model S sales.
