No problem if moved to the EV sub-forum: Source: Global 10 Best-Selling Plug-In Cars Are Accelerating Forward When last we checked in September 2015, the tally for all plug-in cars sold had just crested past 1 million units since the count began early last decade. This they did quicker than it required regular hybrids to do, and today they’re past 1.6 million units, with 2 million on the horizon by year’s end. 10. BYD Tang – 37,509 9. Mitsubishi i-MiEV Family – Approx. 37,600 8. BMW i3 (BEV and REx) – Around 49,500 . . . 5. Toyota Prius PHV – Over 75,400 3. Volt/Ampera Family – About 117,300 2. Tesla Model S – 129,393 1. Nissan Leaf – Over 228,000 Bob Wilson
That kind of growth rate is better than I thought. Reminds me of that thought that if you start the month with a penny, and double what you have everyday, you will be a millionaire by month's end.
That is a hard problem but I'm not sure it matters. If the first owner doesn't plug-in, the second one may. For example, the original owner of my BMW i3-REx only put 6,440 miles on the odometer over 24 months. I'm already at over 10,000 miles, roughly 1,000 miles per month with both home and 'free' public chargers. An experiment, Friday morning I will have done over 300 miles using only the 'free', Level 3 public chargers. We have no charger at work and I'm no longer asking when it turned out it would only add $0.30 to each daily commute (and a lot of resentment.) Bob Wilson
