Chevy Volt sales at 10,000 and Nissan Leaf sales at 8,000
As we finish up the 2011 calendar year, we see electric car sales at a less than impressive number. The Chevy Volt has sales of about 10,000 cars. The Nissan Leaf has sales of about 8,000 cars. As a comparison, total car sales in the US should be in the range of 13 million for this year.
From a fuels price management perspective, it’s clear that electric cars are not on a near-term path to have a significant impact on overall fuels volumes. Petroleum is clearly the on-going primary source of fuels volumes sold.
