Chevy Volt's back: The best design part of the car in my view

Repetition Edition.

With canadian Tesla sales still uncounted, at 118 cars, the number of electric cars sold in February was exactly the same as in January, just as the ranking, with the Volt on top, followed closely by the Nissan Leaf and Prius Plug-In.

Incidentally, the Leaf sold the same number of cars (37) as last month...You see a pattern here, don't you?

Sweden February 2013

New month, new photo theme: The backside, in this case of Volvo's V60 Plug-In

Another month, another record broken in Sweden, up 44% from the previous record established in January, with 251 Plug-In vehicles sold in February.

The sole responsible for this record was the Volvo V60 Plug-In, more than tripling its sales from last month, making this the first real month of sales of the swedish electric wagon.

Losing the top spot but still selling 51 cars was the Prius Plug-In, followed in third place by the Renault Kangoo ZE, with 13 units sold.

Plug-In Hybrids continue to increase their domination, in February they had 93% share over BEV's, while in 2012 they had just 56%...
