Two new articles this week, one all about the numbers and the other a bit more fun ... is weird good for sales?
Sales of electric vehicles in the US so far in 2019 are disappointing, though the low percentage growth rate was not unexpected. Through the month of April, US EV sales are up 10.1% over the same period in 2018. April 2019 sales increased 8.3% over April of 2018. In this post I analyze the sales trends, include 6 charts and outline things to watch for in the coming months.
US EV Sales Trends YTD (Jan-April 2019): Disappointing, But Not Surprising
Remember when one of the first things consumers would say about electric vehicles was that they were weird looking? And let’s be honest, they had a point. The Nissan LEAF, the original poster child of EVs at minimum was quirky looking, and in the eyes of many it was simply ugly.
Most new EVs coming to market are generally perceived as being normal looking. In Electric Vehicles Aren’t Weird Looking Anymore, But Is That a Good Thing? I ask if that is actually a good thing for sales of certain models, at least for the next few years.
