The Chevy Volt is just a LOT more car than PIP and doesn’t really cost that much more. People wont pay $30k for a PIP when they can pay $33k (after rebates on both) for a Volt and get a car that is actually fun to drive and has vastly greater electric performance.

Pure electrics can only ever be a niche vehicle until range and charge times/options drastically improve, even assuming perfection on the part of the designers. And the Leaf is well short of perfection.

The Tesla Model S should drastically outsell the Leaf despite costing two to three times as much, simply because it offers decent to long range depending on the battery you buy, and it looks likely to be a beautiful car to boot.

Prius Plugin is a scam. The only people that are buying it are either hard core Prius fans who like slow car or those who want carpool stickers for the cheapest price.

I guess that when we have the magnific article of hybridcars.com with the hybrid May sales, we will see a decrease of Hybrid sales, that I would associate to a oil price decrease, now under 100 usd per barrel.

However it’s good that they keep on incleasing the sales, we need efficient cars!
