Tesla Leads Canadian Electric Automobile Market With Model S

Sales of Tesla Motors are greater than that of any other electric vehicle maker in Canada.

Tesla Motors is growing in Canada. The dominance of American electric vehicle maker in the plugin electric vehicle market seems to be assured, if the deliveries it made in the quarters ended in March, September and June were 242, 255 and 250. Those have proved to be the three highest sales on a monthly basis for every plugin electric automobile in the US neighborhood, and the company delivered 150% more automobiles across the globe in the 4^th quarter as in its past best quarter.

With registration of 104 Tesla vehicles in November – its ninth consecutive 3 digit sales month, the company only needs 214 deliveries in December to reach 2000 for the year. That will improve the past-best yearly sales of plug-in automobiles in Canada, totally by around 33.33%, Chevy sold 1521 Volts two years ago.

Even surpassed by its California based cousin, Chevy Volt succeeded with an exceptional December with 220 vehicles sold. That figure slightly increased from 172 in November, and only 2 less than its best month in Canada (April 2014), when oil was sold for $104 per barrel.

The performance is all very impressive provided that December has consistently proved to be the third most sluggish month of 2015 for automotive sales in the North American country, beating only February and January.

In 2015, Chevrolet succeeded in selling 1426 Volts in Canada. That is slightly down from 1521 deliveries in 2014, but it is an excellent result, assuming the efficiency of fuel does not bother consumers.

In the meantime, Nissan Leaf has continued at a steady pace, not affected by the sluggish sales in 2015 witnessed in the U.S. 122 deliveries in December were the eighth time in 9 months it made 3-digits sales and almost same as the monthly sales of 121 vehicles during that period of time. Sales increased for the fourth consecutive year, as it reached 1233 deliveries from 1085 deliveries made in 2014.

Bayerische Motoren Werke delivered 46 i-series automobiles in December. Whereas the split between the sales of i8 sport coupes and i3 hatchbacks would be unavailable until the registration of vehicles, the i3 seems to have delivered 360 to 380 automobiles in 2015 (up from 199 in 2014) with the addition of 200 i8 vehicles sold.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV delivered 11 vehicles in December, well for 121 units in the year, arresting a 2-year decline in sales and six more automobiles than the 115 units delivered in the United States past year. While the improved kei car has loyal enthusiasts and fans, the subcompact has proved to be as undersized for roads in North America as the Ford F-150 has been over sized for streets in Japan.
