2013 Chevrolet Volt alloys |
Like in its southern neighbor, the canadian EV market had a good month in March, reaching the 218 record sales it had last December. Still, in a market of 156.000 cars sold in March, the Plug-In market has a symbolic presence, as the 0,13% share can attest.
This time the Chevrolet Volt has company in #1, as the Leaf beat its record selling month, dating back from December'11, and secured 82 sales, which is more than it had sold in all of the Q1 of 2012...
Will the price drop be enough for japanese BEV to secure the top spot in the coming months?
