There were 50% more BMWs sold this January than all electric cars combined. I have a hard time believing any headstart on sales alone will be representative.

Technology, services (including charging) are definitely advantages of pioneers like Tesla by the way, the only non-"big auto" member of the top ev sellers list.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoI bought a Tesla primarily for the Supercharger network. Any other EV is DOA if you need to long distance travel in a reasonable amount of time (I do like the Leaf and Bolt, but they are not practical outside of a commuter car). The operating costs are less than half of the Tundra pickup truck it replaced.
- brightball 9y agoThat’s why I love the Volt. It’s just tremendously more practical to use electric for the commute but still have access to gas for long trips.
