No one here is surprised that Plug In America is confident in the future of plug-in vehicles. This is a group that has fought for years to increase their numbers in the US and was able to celebrate, finally, the sale of the 100,000th EV (a Mitsubishi i-MiEV) here earlier this year. In other words, PIA has reason to see the upside.
In a fundraising email, Richard Kelly, president of Plug In America, took stock of what the group accomplished in 2013, including the third National Plug In Day (NPID, pictured), and he said the year was a "pivotal" one for plug-in vehicles. How, exactly, National Plug In Day affects EV sales is something Kelly said PIA will explore in 2014, along with a plan "to build on what works, go even bigger, and see if we can surpass this performance." The 2013 NPID was the biggest ever, hitting 98 cities around the world.
Kelly wrote that the upswing in EV sales should continues for at least the next three years. "Some journalists are still reporting that plug-in sales are petering out, or have some limit that is fast approaching," he said. "If we believed this, we'd pack it up today. But we see huge potential in the next three years."
