A friend of mine just traded in his Nissan Leaf for a low emission Chevy Volt that has access to the HOV lane. I believe that the inability to regularly find an available charging station where he works (Google) was the primary driver for his decision.
This prompted me to see what the current U.S. adoption rates are for PHEVs vs BEVs.
June YTD
Nissan Leaf 535 3148
Ford Focus 89 n/a
Mitsubishi i 33 446
Chevy Volt 1760 8817
Prius PlugIn 695 4333
My conclusion: range anxiety is real.
