more like < 2% last time i checked. hybrids never got above 4% even when oil was $140.
looking at all the big EVs outside of TSLA M3, they completely stink. Total EV sales were down last year to only 308k vehicles. That's around 50 models!
i believe the Honda CRV outsells the entire EV market, but Mike can correct me.
for 2020 in the US about 375,000-400,000 Honda CRV's.....which will now include a Hybrid CRV starting in Q2.
and Honda will make more real money just on those CRV's than Tesla ever will operationally. Wall Street be damned.
total electrics in the USA are around that number. maybe slightly more overall.
in some blue blood pockets electrics may look dominant. it's a 1%'r phenomena. if you never venture out into the great unwashed masses how would you not think it's a new world.
johnny paycheck is not buying an electric. anytime. soon. hybrid maybe, and more hybrids as we go along. that is real.
those $99 per month Nissan Leaf leases underwritten by the $7500 tax credit did get real people into those sh*t boxes. but the $35k Leaf became a $8000-$10,000 used car 2 years later, and the tax credit is gone. Nissan is in the toilet. those Leaf leases killed them.
lesson learned. can't legislate technology breakthroughs. the market has to do it.
16.5-17 million cars will get sold this year. a few hundred thousand electrics. left and right coast blue states mostly.
