Canada's New Darling

Tesla Edition

With more than 450 sales last month, the Canadian EV market was slightly down regarding the same month last year, with Tesla doing much of the heavy-lifting that previously was done by the Chevrolet Volt, now with GM's plug-in waiting for the Second Gen Volt, due later in the year, Tesla profits from the new D versions to jump for the leadership, placing the bar really high for the next generation Volt.

Looking elsewhere, the Leaf continues to be the other model in the three-digit-zone (112 units) cementing the #2, while the Smart Fortwo ED and BMW i8 jump a couple of positions and are now tied in #5.

The Mitsubishi I-Miev continues to impress (21 units), doubling sales regarding the same month last year and hoping to have a word on the 2nd League title...
