Canada August 2013

The Volt started the real plug-in sales history in Canada

"Second Best" Edition

A good month for the plug-in market in Canada, reaching 298 units sold, which is the second best performance of the year, falling only behind March (373 units).

With its second best performance of the year (84 units), the Chevy Volt is back at #1 in the monthly chart, after last month Tesla Model S interrupted a three consecutive #1's for GM's affiliate.

And as this is the "Second Best" month, the Nissan Leaf also scored a second best performance of the year, selling 56 units, relegating the Model S to third place.

Further down the ranking there's not much to say, apart from the fact that the #9 Ford Fusion Energi is putting pressure on the #8 Focus Electric and should pass by it in the next couple of months.
