For the Volt, this is a repeat performance of last year when the electric Chevy was #1 in sales for plug-in vehicles.
We can further expand upon the #1 spot for the Volt by adding that it tops the North American sales charts too for both 2012 and 2013, as the Volt has continually been Canada’s best selling plug-in vehicle.
