I ran across this Bloomberg article
http://www.app.com/article/20110701/NJBIZ/307010094/Nissan-s-Leaf-pulls-ahead-GM-s-Volt
which notes (emphasis added):
"Combined sales of Leaf, rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as traveling at least 60 miles per charge, and Volt, which goes about 40 miles on lithium-ion battery power before a gasoline engine propels it, are 6,620 through June. By comparison, GM, Nissan, Ford Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. and other carmakers sold or leased 4,400 highway-legal battery-electric vehicles combined from 1996 to 2003 in California during its zero-emission vehicle program, said Krista Eley, an air-pollution specialist with the state’s Air Resources Board."
Whoa, that's pretty cool. The Leaf and Volt together have outsold all the ev's sold under California's zero-emission mandate program from 1996-2003 (the EV1, RAV4 EV, Ford Ranger, etc.)
Can someone verify if this is indeed correct? If so, the ev train has well and truly left the station....
