The month-to-month increases in Chevrolet Volt sales for the last few months have not been all that impressive – from August to September, they went up just 20 units, and from September to October, the number climbed up 110. The good new for GM, though, is that each of the last three months have set new records. October continued that trend, with 2,961 Volts sold last month. Based on these trends, will anyone be surprised if the Volt finally breaks 3,000 for the first time in November?
Before Nissan released sales numbers today, we heard from our friend Paul Scott that October would be a record month for the Leaf, as well. Well, Nissan's best month ever for Leaf sales was all the way back in June 2011, when 1,708 Leafs were sold. October didn't quite hit that lofty high, but Scott was on to something. In October, Nissan sold 1,579 units, the second-ever best month for US sales. It's also something of a spectacular turnaround for the Leaf, which has been running in the three-digit sales figures since all the way back in November 2011.
We'll have our monthly write-up of US alt-fuel vehicle sales, including numbers for all the plug-in and hybrid vehicles, available soon.
