Editor's note: I'm back online and to start recovering for the lost time, i'm posting today the american markets data and the rest will follow in the coming days.
Volt(age) Edition
With the canadian Tesla sales now accounted, the EV market registered 167 new cars in May, an average month that kept the EV share at 0,12%, just 0,01% above last year share.
In the ranking, the Volt is now well ahead of the competition, followed by a surprisingly discrete Nissan Leaf and tied in third comes the Prius Plug-In and the Mitsubishi I-Miev.
Finally, in fifth there's Tesla's Model S, far from delivering here the kind of performance that it has in Uncle Sam's country.
