EV Sales

From Inside EVs:

Note that BMW has decided for some time to no longer give model breakdowns or a final EV number, but rather a percentage decrease YoY, which has been huge in the last few months. But now, the automaker isn't even sharing its EV sales numbers/percentage at all. Still, i3 and i8 numbers will be official as reported by BMW.

While Mercedes is willing to provide IEV with a "total" number of plug-in vehicles sold for the month, the totals for each model are unverified by the automaker.

Many other automakers like Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Volvo, Porsche, and Jaguar don't reveal any EV sales figures.

Tesla reports its overall global deliveries every quarter, but that doesn't help with U.S. sales.

GM (Chevrolet and Cadillac) and Ford, among others, have chosen to just report on a quarterly basis, but again, there's often no breakdown of EV models delivered.

Toyota stopped reporting Prius Prime sales and has instead made the decision to just post overall Prius sales.

Honda has never broken down Clarity sales either.

So, basically, we have a few EV sales numbers to add from the past few months and will have a few more after the end of the quarter.

Aside from that, "You get nothing, you lose, good day, sir!" Sad but too true.

Nonetheless, look for some minor updates coming soon. As always, thanks for your support and understanding.

Hopefully, as automakers begin to find success with EVs (many, many years away as it stands right now), we'll see a change in reporting practices.
