"Now and again, I get the feeling, well if I don't win, I'm gonna break even," Tom Petty sang on his 1994 nugget You Wreck Me. And while we're not out to wreck any hybrids or electric vehicles, it's safe to say that the sentiment of that lyric is an appropriate one when analyzing last month's green-car sales.
With 2014's first quarter in the books, US green-car sales have emerged from deep-negative territory to show year-over-year gains for March, albeit barely. All told, Americans bought 59,544 green cars, up 0.9 percent from 2013. Year-over-year green-car sales going into March were down 19 percent, so last month represents a victory of sorts.In Q1 2014, Americans bought 59,544 green cars, up 0.9 percent from 2013.
Nissan led the parade as the Japanese automaker boosted sales of its all-electric Leaf by 12 percent from a year earlier to 2,507 units, its second highest-ever monthly total ever (behind December 2013's 2,529 units sold).
Tesla, which doesn't break out monthly sales of its Model S, would've boosted its March sales by 45 percent from a year earlier to 2,300 vehicles if it maintained its sales pace from the fourth quarter, a reasonable expectation.
